    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for an operator to form a group (31, 32, 33) of users (Ua, Ub, Uc, …, Uk) for internal communication within the group of users over a communications network(2), where each user has a unique identity (a, b, c,.., k)in the communications network (2). Any user (Ua) in the group (31) can act as a sender (S) of a message, in which case every other user(Ub, Uc, Ud, Ue, Uf) in the group(31)is a receiver (R1, R2, R3, R4, R5) of the message, where the sender (S1) sends the message to a message server(1), and where the message server (1) forwards the message to each receiver (R1, R2, R3, R4, R5). A group identity(A, B, C, …, M) is assigned to each user (Ua, Ub, Uc, …, Uk) through which each user can send a message to the group (31, 32). The combination of the group identity for a user and the user identity uniquely specifies that user as a member of that group. Every group identity (A, B, C,…, M) is identified as a server identity for the message server (1) by the communications network (2). The message server (1), when receiving a message, identifies the sender (S1) by means of the sender user identity(a), and the group (31) by means of the unique combination (A-a)of the sender's user identity (a) and the group identity (A) used by the sender (S1).
