Creating M-Business Groups

Use the M-Business view to create groups to manage how you assign channels to your users. By assigning users to a group, you automatically grant them access to all the channels assigned to the group account.

To create a new group:

To access the M-Business view, select Windows|Show View|M-Business on the main menu.

In the M-Business view, click the pull-down menu on the local toolbar, and select New|Group.

Create new group

Field	Description
Connection Profile	Select the server where the group will be located.
Name	Enter the name of the new group.
Description	Enter a description for the group.
Type	Indicate the type of group: Managed – membership is not optional, so users can neither add nor remove themselves from managed groups. Administrators and group administrators can add users to, or remove users from, managed groups Optional – membership is available to all users. Users, as well as administrators and group administrators, can add or remove themselves. Required – membership in required groups is not optional. Users become members of a required group automatically. If you create a required group before you add users, all users are automatically added to the group as they are added to the ASA database. If you create a required group after you add users, you have the option of having the M-Business Server populate the group with all existing users.

Click OK.
The new group appears in the M-Business view, under the Group Channels folder.
