93Chapter 6 Managing Users
Importing Groups of Users Automatically
If your server is connected to your organization’s directory server, you can import
groups of existing user accounts. If you import a group, your server automatically
imports user accounts for all group members. Your server periodically checks with
your organization’s directory server for changes in each imported group’s membership,
and automatically adds and removes imported user accounts as users are added to or
removed from an imported group.
Your server gives each imported user account its own iChat address, personal calendar,
and My Page wiki portal. Imported user accounts can also have access to wikis, blogs,
web calendars, a server-based address book, the server’s shared les, and Time Machine
backup storage. If your server’s mail service and VPN service are turned on, imported
user accounts get email addresses and can use VPN to access the server remotely.
Availability of each service is subject to the service being turned on, and you can
individually control each imported user account’s access to services.
