Adding or Removing Users from Local Groups
After you add users, you can add them to local groups. Adding users to groups allows you to handle large numbers of users with a single action, such as assigning all members of the sales force the same virtual machine (VM) and the same virtual applications, without having to remember which users are in the sales force each time.
Local groups are defined on NxTop Center, and have no application outside NxTop Center.
Groups (OU) defined in Active Directory, where your organization may have already organized the users, are imported from Active Directory. NxTop Center supports both Active Directory users and groups, and local users and local groups in the NxTop Center database. See Configuring Active Directory for more information.
When you remove a user from a local group, that user's assignments do not automatically change. The user retains any VM, Policy, or Virtual Application assignments. Active Directory users can be added to local groups, though local users cannot be added to AD groups.
To add or remove users to a local group:
Step One
Log into NxTop Center using a browser, and click Groups and Users > Groups in the navigation panel.
Step Two
Select the group you want to change and click the Users tab.
All users are listed. Users that are members of the group are listed first with a filled checkbox in the Assign column.
Step Three
Click Modify.
Step Four
Change the group membership:
- Fill the checkbox to add a user to the group.
- Empty the checkbox to remove a user from the group.
Step Five
Click Save. User membership in the local group is changed.
- Members added to a group receive any group assignments for VM, policy, and Virtual Application
- Users removed from the group are unassigned, and the VM will be removed from their computer. See Unassigning a Virtual Machine for details.
