About Groups

A Scalix group can contain individual users, other groups, or a combination of both, with both direct and effective members.

Note	In the Scalix system, the term “Group” is interchangeable with the term “Public Distribution List." Most e-mail users are comfortable with references to Groups, while mail administrators user the term Public Distribution Lists.

Direct or Effective members?

In the Scalix system, the terms “Group” and “Public Distribution List” are used interchangeably. Groups can contain individual users, other groups, or a combination of both.

There are two levels of group membership:

• Direct: User is assigned directly to the group.
• Effective: User became a member because another group to which the user belongs was added to this group.
