Hide Groups in Domino Directory?

Is it possible to hide the LocalDomainAdmins/LocalDomainServers … groups so my users don’t see them in the directory from their clients?

Can I also do this for the AdministrationRequests/FaultReports databases?

Thanks.

Absolutely!Right click a group, choose “Document Properties”. Click the security tab (the one with the key). Uncheck “all readers and above”, then in the access list, check the persons, groups, servers you want to be able to see the group.

Make SURE you give servers that will need to see this group access. Probably best just to give LocalDomainServers the right to see the groups.

Also note that, in R5, users would not be able to see groups that were “hidden”, but would still be able to send e-mail to those groups (if they were mail or multi purpose groups). In R6 (and off the top of my head, I don’t remember if it’s 6.0.3, or 6.5.2, or what), the users won’t even be able to send mail to the group. So they can’t “guess” that there is a group called “Administrator”, and send e-mail to it if it is hidden from them in the Domino Directory.
