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.

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.
