9.5. Granting Rights to Add and Delete Group Entries
Some organizations want to allow employees to create entries in the tree if it can increase their
efficiency or if it can contribute to the corporate dynamics.
At example.com, there is an active social committee that is organized into various clubs, such
as tennis, swimming, and skiing. Any example.com employee can create a group entry
representing a new club. This is illustrated in Section 9.5.1, “ACI "Create Group"”. Any
example.com employee can become a member of one of these groups. This is illustrated in
Section 9.9.1, “ACI "Group Members"” under Section 9.9, “Allowing Users to Add or Remove
Themselves from a Group”. Only the group owner can modify or delete a group entry. This is
illustrated in Section 9.5.2, “ACI "Delete Group"”.

Committee branch, write the following statement:
