Group property sheet: General tab

The General tab of the Group property sheet has the following components:

Name Shows the name of the group.
Type Shows the type of object.
Allowed to connect Select this option to allow the group to connect to the database. If the group is not allowed to connect, the password (if one was supplied) is removed from the account. If you later change the group to allow them to connect, you must supply a new password. Clearing this option disables the Password and Confirm Password options.

Users are almost always allowed to connect. For a group, however, turning this option off prevents anyone from connecting to the database using the group account itself.
- Password Type the password for the group. For added security, the characters appear as asterisks.
- Confirm password Confirm the password that you typed in the Password text box by entering it again. The contents of the two fields must match exactly.
Comment Provides a place for you to type a text description of the group. For example, you could use this area to describe the group's purpose in the system.
