    How to change policies for a single group?


    Hi, I have made a group, and added some users to it. I now want to add policies to that group to restrict some stuff.

    Unfortuantely, in the group policy editor, the policies apply to all groups/users.

    Please could someone instruct me the best way to do this?

    Edit:

    P.S Sorry is this is in the wrong place, I didn't know the best place to put it!

    Hello Liamwli, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    This may work for you. :)

    Group Policy - Apply to a Specific User or Group

    Hope this helps,

    Hi Shawn, thanks for the reply!

    I have gone off that for now, however it won't let me select the group I made? There are only 2 groups in the list .

    A fix?

    It appears that you will not be able to apply it to a custom group that you created, but only to each user of the group instead.
