50.5. Creating a New Webmin Group

Creating a group on multiple servers in this module is just like creating one locally in the Webmin Users module, except that the module selection part of the form is slightly different. Chapter 52 explains in detail what groups are, how they work, and what they are useful for. The same principals apply when creating and using groups on multiple systems.

To add a group, follow these instructions:

1.
Click on the Add Group button on the module's main page to bring up the group creation form.

2.
Enter a name not used by any other user or group on any system into the Group name field.

3.
If this group should inherit modules and access control settings from some other group, select it from the Member of group menu. All groups from all systems are listed, so it is possible that during the creation process the group will be added to a system on which its parent does not exist. If this happens, it will be as though <None> was selected.

4.
From the Modules lists, select the modules that will be eventually assigned to members of this group, either by clicking on them or using the links below.

5.
Hit the Create button to begin creating the group. A page showing whether it succeeded or failed on each managed system will be displayed. A failure to create on one (because it is down or the RPC login is incorrect) will not affect the rest.

6.
Once the group has been added, you can assign users or other groups to it using this module. It is best to only use groups created like this that exist and are the same on all managed systems so user details remain in sync across all servers.
