Static Groups

Static groups are useful when the members do not change often. Users and other entries can be grouped using a static group entry. A static group entry contains a list of members DNs. The static group entry usually has an object class of groupOfNames and an attribute member that has one value for each of the members in the group. If a user is removed from the directory, then you must manually remove the user's member DN from each group that the user belonged to.
