Chapter 3 Server Administration 51
Workgroup Manager
You use Workgroup Manager to administer user, group, and computer accounts, work
with managed client preferences for Mac OS X users, manage share points, and access
the Inspector, an advanced feature that lets you do raw editing of Open Directory
entries.
Information about using Workgroup Manager appears in several documents:
• The user management guide explains how to use Workgroup Manager for account
and preference management.
• The file service administration guide explains how to use Sharing in Workgroup
Manager to manage share points.
• The Open Directory administration guide describes how to use the Inspector.
• The Windows services administration guide describes how to use Workgroup
Manager to manage users of Windows workstations.
• The print administration guide describes how to use Workgroup Manager to define
print quotas for individual users.
Opening and Authenticating in Workgroup Manager
Workgroup Manager is installed in /Applications/Server/. To open Workgroup Manager,
click the Workgroup Manager icon in the Dock or in the toolbar of Server Admin:
• To open Workgroup Manager on the server you are using without authenticating,
choose View Directories from the Server menu when you see the Workgroup
Manager login dialog. You have read-only access to information displayed in
Workgroup Manager. To make changes, click the lock icon to authenticate as an
administrator. This approach is most useful when you are administering various
servers and working with several directory domains.
• To authenticate as an administrator for a particular server, local or remote, enter the
server’s IP address or DNS name in the login dialog, or click Browse to choose from a
list of servers. Specify the user name and password for an administrator of the server,
then click Connect. Use this approach when you will be working most of the time
with a particular server.
After opening Workgroup Manager, you can open a Workgroup Manager window for a
different computer by clicking Connect in the toolbar or choosing Server > Connect.
