Fill in the title of the group, a short description and select all users you want to add to the group. Note that users can also be added to groups as well as deleted from groups retrospectively (see Modify groups). Click OK to create the group.
- Finally, the group including links to all of its members is created (see figure 4). The blue link between user and group indicates that the user is member of the group.
