Add Groups to Groups

EmpowerID allows you to easily add one or more groups as members of another group. When you do so, members of the added groups gain any entitlements and delegations associated with the group to which they are being added. For example, if you a group with a policy that specifies that members of that group have a home folder, and you add a group without such a policy to that group, then the members of the group without the policy will be given a home folder.
