Jeeves Groups, like Jeeves user accounts,
are used in Access Control Lists
(ACLs) which can control access to web pages
and other resources.
Each group is associated with a Realm
within the server, and represents a set of Jeeves
users within that realm.
This means that two different realms could have
different groups with the same name.
When you open the Jeeves Administration web page, and
select the "groups" section, the right side of the page
has three sections:
- To the left, a list of groups in the particular realm;
- To the right, the set of users who are members of
that group;
- At the bottom, some fields, buttons, and a choice box
which shows the realm whose groups are being displayed.
Selecting a Jeeves Realm
You need to keep track of which realm you're looking at.
The realm is listed in a choice box beneath the "Delete Group"
and "Delete Member" buttons.
To select a realm, choose it using that
choice box. The list of users displayed will now correspond
to that realm.
In Jeeves alpha1, adding new realms is not supported.
