How to implement the steps in the FAQ for limiting access to the home directory only

I have read the FAQ on this.
1. Make a local group with copssh users as members.

When you say make a local group how is this accomplished? Through Windows groups or through the bash shell? I did create a new windows group after installing this software, but looking at groups in the bash shell doesn't show the new one. How would I create a local group in the bash shell?

2. Deny access to this group at top level.

What top level .. the windows c: directory or from within the bash shell? I'm not clear on how or where to do this at.

3. COPSSH user activation can then be used to allow access at home directory level.

Does the user activation have to be done after the group is created and the access is denied or will it work for users already created?

Thank you in advnace for your help.

For number 4 in the new faq .. If the user is already activated will the permissions remain ok or do you have to deactivate and reactive a current user?
Thank you,

Step 2 Deny access to this group at top level will disturb access rights set by a user activation. That means you must reactivate an existing user.
