Serv-U groups

Groups provide a method of sharing common configuration options with multiple user accounts. Configuring a group is similar to configuring a user account. Groups can be created at the server or domain level.

Virtually every configuration option available for a user account can be set at the group level. For a user to inherit a group's settings, it must be a member of the group. Permissions and attributes inherited by a user through group membership can still be overridden at the user level. A user can be a member of multiple groups in order to acquire multiple collections of permissions, such as directory or IP access rules.

At the server level, the following options are available:

Global Groups	Add or edit groups available to global user accounts on the file server.
Database Groups	Database groups are loaded from the specified ODBC data source and supplement the local group database.

At the domain level, the additional options are available:

Windows Groups	Create and maintain groups representing settings for your Windows Organization (OU).
LDAP Groups	Create and maintain groups representing settings for your LDAP groups.
