Allows end users to manage group membership for any groups that they are assigned as the manager of in Active Directory
If you have ever assigned a user as a manager of a security/distribution group in Active Directory, you may have noticed the option "Manager can update membership list" which
grants the user permission to add and remove members from this group. The only problem with this is that
there is no easy way for the user to actually make these changes,
other than through Microsoft Outlook.
So Group Manager was designed to be an easy to use tool for end users to add and remove users/contacts/groups to any groups that they are managers of, for any organisations that do not have (or do not want to use) Microsoft Outlook for this task.
It will also be useful for any organisations that are using Outlook but are moving to a hosted Exchange solution, as end users will not be able to make changes to the local domain through Outlook in this scenario.
Features

Free Edition Limitations
The free edition is intended to be used by smaller organisations where users only manage a single group (or by anyone that wants to try the application out before purchasing the standard edition). As it is only able to manage a single group, if the user is a manager of more than one group then they will only see the first group found.
