Products

• Gateway Email Encryption

Issue/Introduction

In Encryption Management Server, users can be assigned to groups automatically. This is usually achieved by checking whether they are members of a specific Active Directory security group.

Users can also be assigned to groups manually. To add a user to a group or remove a user from a group manually, do the following from the administration console:

1. Navigate to Consumers / Groups.
2. Click on the group name.
3. From the Users section of the page, click on the View button:
   
4. The list of users already assigned by the administrator will be displayed.
5. To delete a user from the group, click on the Remove icon.
6. To add a user to the group, click on the Add Users button.
7. From the Add User to Group page, start typing the name or email address of a user to find the user:
   
8. Click on the Save button.

When you add a user to a group or delete a user from a group, the user list should be refreshed immediately. However, this is not always the case.

Environment

Symantec Encryption Management Server release 10.5 or above.

Resolution

Wait for a few minutes and check the group membership again. The list of users should have updated.
