  3. Lets navigate over to the All Active People set and update the MPR to confirm that it only contains employees. As a note, we need to make sure we have all the attributes on the users to make sure that the filters work. In Chapter 5, User Management, we may have updated the attribute flow from the Metaverse.

  5. In order for users to be able to add themselves and owners to approve the requests, we need to also enable the following MPRs:
    • Distribution list management: Owners can read attributes of group resources
    • Distribution list management: Owners can update and delete groups they own
    • Distribution list management: Users can add or remove any members of the groups, subject to owner approval
    • Distribution list management: Users can add or remove any members of groups that don't require owner approval
    • Distribution list management: Users can create Static Distribution Groups
    • Distribution list management: Users can read selected attributes of group resources
