Managing groups

You can assign properties to user and administrator accounts at the individual, group, and domain level. The BlackBerry® Administration Service applies properties to user and administrator accounts using the following hierarchy:
  • The properties at the individual level override the properties at the group level.
  • The properties at the group level override the properties at the domain level.

After you add a user or administrator account to a group, you can override the properties that you configured for the account at the group or domain level by changing the properties at the user account level. If you change and reapply the group or domain properties, the updated properties override the previous user account properties.

If you remove a user or administrator account from a group, the account name remains in the global users list, but it does not appear in the group list.
