Hi Bill,

If you have access to the server, look at
myManilaWebsite.["#prefs"].defaultMembershipGroup; the value there must
be the name of an address entry in the members.root. Double click that
value. If it exists in members.root you will see the address there. In
this example expect to see @["My hard disk:Applications:Frontier:Guest
Databases:www:manilaWebsites.root"].myManilaWebsite.["#membershipGroup"].

So the pref points to an address in members.root and the address in
members.root points back to the #membershipGroup table in your site.

For shared membershipgroups it must be the same but different I guess ;)
