Table 4.8. Group properties
| Field label | Value |
|---|---|
Name | The name of the repository group. |
Group Native Room | The group’s native room. This field appears only if the rooms feature of Collaborative Services is enabled. |
E-Mail Address | The email address for the new group. If no value is entered in this field, the group email address defaults to the group name. |
Owner | The name of a repository user who has the Create Group privilege and who owns this group. If you are a superuser, you can select the owner. Otherwise, you can set this to a group of which you are a member. |
Administrator | Specifies a user or group, in addition to a superuser or the group owner, who can modify the group. If this is null, only a superuser and the group owner can modify the group. Only a superuser and the group owner can change the administrator of a group. |
Alias Set | The default alias set for the group. |
Group is Global | Displayed only in the governing repository of a federation and the group must be a global group. |
Description | A description of the group. |
Private | Defines whether the group is private. If not selected, the group is created as a public group. A group with Private enabled can be updated only by a user who is the owner of the group or is listed as the group administrator of the group. A group with Private not enabled can be updated by a user with system administrator privileges as well as by the group owner or administrator. A superuser can update any group, regardless if Private is enabled or not. |
Dynamic | Indicates if the group is a dynamic group. A dynamic group is a group, of any group class, whose list of members is considered a list of potential members. User membership is controlled on a session-by-session basis by the application at runtime. The members of a dynamic group comprise of the set of users who are allowed to use the group; but a session started by one of those users will behave as though it is not part of the group until it is specifically requested by the application. For more information about dynamic groups, refer to Dynamic groups. |
Protected | Indicates if the group is protected against adding or deleting members. Use of a protected dynamic group is limited to applications running with a DFC installation that has been configured as privileged through the Documentum Administrator client rights administration. The Protected checkbox is enabled only when Dynamic Group is selected. |
