Adding a user to a group

You can perform this task using the Group Settings dialog box or the User Settings dialog box. The result is the same: a user is added to a group. Controls in the User Settings and group settings dialog boxes are described in Creating-or-modifying-a-user. You cannot add a user to a group in Active Directory Delegate Mode; only the Active Directory Security Administrator can perform this task in Active Directory.
