Comment:
move group customisation example to howto chapter; add link.

  
  GOsa² is an administration tool that uses LDAP to store its information and provide a hierarchical department structure. To each "department" you can add user accounts, groups, systems, netgroups, etc. Depending on the structure of your institution, you can use the department structure in GOsa²/LDAP to transfer your organisational structure into the LDAP data tree of the Debian Edu main server.
  
- A default Debian Edu main server installation currently provides two "departments": Teachers and Students, plus the base level of the LDAP tree. Student accounts are intended to be added to the "Students" department, teachers to the "Teachers" department; systems (servers, Skolelinux workstations, Windows machines, printers etc.) are currently added to the base level. Find your own scheme for customising this structure.

Find your own scheme for customising this structure. You can find an example how to create users in year groups, with common home directories for each group in the [[../HowTo/Adminstration|HowTo/Adminstration] chapter of this manual.
  
  Depending on the task that you want to work on (manage users, manage groups, manage systems, etc.) GOsa² presents you with a different view on the selected department (or the base level).

- == Group Customisation Example with GOsa² ==
- 
- In this example we want to create users in year groups, with common home directories for each group (home0/2014, home0/2015, etc.) We want to create the users by csv import.
- 
- 
- ''(as root on Tjener) ''
-   * Make the necessary year group directories 
- 
- mkdir /skole/tjener/home0/2014
- 
- ''(as superuser in Gosa)''
-   * Department
- Main menu: goto 'Directory structure', click the 'Students' department. The 'Base' field should show '/Students'.
- From the drop box 'Actions' choose 'Create'/'Department'.
- Fill in values for Name (2014) and Description fields (students graduating in 2014), leave the Base field as is (should be '/Students'). Save it clicking 'Ok'.
- Now the new department (2014) should show up below  /Students. Click it.
-   * Group
- Choose 'Groups' from the main menu; 'Actions'/Create/Group.
- Enter group name (leave 'Base' as is, should be /Students/2014) and click the check box left of 'Samba group'. 'Ok' to save it.
-   * Template
- Choose 'users' from the main menu. Change to 'Students' in the Base
- field. An Entry {{{'NewStudent'}}} should show up, click it. This is the
- 'students' template, not a real user. As you'll have to create such a
- template (to be able to use csv import for your structure) based on this
- one, notice all entries showing up in the Generic, POSIX and Samba tabs,
- mabe take screenshots.
- Now change to /Students/2014 in the Base field; choose
- Create/Template and start to fill in your desired values, first the
- Generic tab (add your new 2014 group under Group Membership, too), then add POSIX and Samba account.
- 
-    * Import users
- Choose your new template when doing csv import; testing it with a few users recommended.
