Jeeves

Group Management


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:

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.
