Supervisors may add new groups and administer existing groups from within Supervisor mode. Group mode lets supervisors add new groups in just the same way and allows non-supervisors to set up their own personal groups.
To add a new group do the following:
Press the 
located in shortcut bar in Group mode. The Group property sheet is displayed showing the Details page.
Enter a name for the group, e.g. 'Sales Team'. OfficeTalk lets you define the group's owner by selecting a user's name from the Owner drop down list. Only those users to whom you have at least create general access will appear in the drop down list.
Select the Members tab and define which users and resources will belong to the group by selecting the required users and resources from the Non Members list and pressing the Add button.
Select the Access tab. From here you can specify the access rights that each user has to the group. By default, the group is marked as personal which means that all users that have general access to you will have the same access to this group. For further information on granting access rights, see Administering Access Rights.
Press OK to record your changes.
The fields in the Details tab of the Group property sheet are summarised below:
| Field | Description |
| Group Name | This is the name of the group, for example, 'Sales', or 'Support Team'. |
| Owner | This is the owner of the group. When you create a group, OfficeTalk automatically makes you the owner of the group. This means that only you (and any supervisors) are able to delete the group or edit its name or its members. |
