Restricting access to groups

Add a Readers list to a group to restrict access to it. For example, a Readers list comes in handy if you have a large mailing group that you want to allow only a few users to send mail to.

About this task

Note: If the Basic name finder is enabled, users without access to a restricted group can see the group in the directory but can't send mail to it.
  1. Right-click the group in the directory and then click Document Properties.
  2. Click the Security tab (fourth tab).
  3. In the Who can read this document field, clear the All readers and above box.
  4. Add the names that you want to allow access to the group.
  5. Add the following groups to the access list:
    • (Required) SaaSLocalDomainServers. Granting access to this group allows the group to replicate to replicas of the directory in the service.
    • (Recommended) LocalDomainServers
    • (Recommended) LocalDomainAdmins
  6. Make a minor edit to the group. This step ensures that the change to the group replicates to the service.
