<h4>     group create<p>

</h4>Creates a new group in the registry database.  The syntax is:<p>

<b>group create </b><i>group_name_list</i><b> </b>{<b>-attribute </b><i>extended_rgy_attr_list</i><b> | </b><i>attribute value</i>}</i></b><p>

<b>Options</b></b><p>

<i>-attribute value <br></i>As an alternative to using the <b>-attribute</b> option with an attribute list, you can change individual attribute options by prepending a - (hyphen) to any 

attributes listed in <a href="Comre330.htm">Attributes</a><b> </b>in this reference page.  You cannot use this option to specify ERAs; it is only for the standard attributes described in 

<b>Attributes</b>.<b> 

</i></b><p>

<b>-attribute </b><i>extended_rgy_attr_list <br></i>Allows you to specify attributes, including ERAs, by using an attribute list rather than using the <i>-attribute value </i>option.  The 

format of an attribute list is as follows: 

</i></b><p>

{{<i>extended_rgy_attr_list value</i>}<b>&#133;</b>{<i>extended_rgy_attr_list value</i>}}</i></b><p>

See the <i>OSF DCE Administration Guide</i> for more information on ERAs.</i><p>

<b>Description</b> <br>The <b>group create</b> operation creates a new group in the registry database.  The argument is a list of names of groups to be created.  Options are used to 

specify the attributes of the newly created group.  All options are applied to all groups in the argument.  This operation returns an empty string on success. 

</b><p>

<b>Privileges Required</b> <br>You must have <b>i</b> (<b>insert</b>) permission to the directory in which the group is to be created.</b><p>

<b>Examples</b></b><p>

dcecp&gt; <b>group create users4 -attribute </b>{<b>fullname &quot;temporary users&quot;</b>} <br>dcecp&gt; </b><p>
