Group Properties

To view and modify the properties of a group, double click on its icon or select it and press the [Ctrl]+[Enter] keys.

The Goverlan properties window can be used to view/modify the most common Active Directory attributes for a group object as well as to manage group memberships. If you need to view/manage an attribute not available from this window, click on the Native Property Window button to switch to the Users & Computers MMC Snap-in Group property window.

To export the information to a file, click on the button.

Group Members

Use the Members tab to view and manage the members of the group object. You can use the Add (see Goverlan Object Selector) and Remove buttons to manage the group members. You can also use the import | export button to export the group members into a file, or import the information from a group members file.

To view extended information about any of the displayed members, double click on their respective icon.

Viewing Effective Group Members

By default, the Members tab displays the direct members of the group. However, if one or more members are groups themselves, other objects are members of this group by inheritance.

To view the full set of effective members of a group, enable the Show Effective Members option. Once enabled, every direct and indirect member of the group is listed, and the Effective Via column displays the inheritance path of the member.
