Naming a user group in Remote Web Console

When you create a user group in Remote Web Console, you name the group with the user’s
memberOf attribute value which is found in the Active Directory. Remote Web Console supports
Active Directory nested groups.

After entering the user group name, verify that the user group name that you entered is registered
in the authorization server.

CAUTION:

If a user needs to use different user groups for different purposes, create local user

accounts on Remote Web Console. Do not use the authorization server.

NOTE:

The domain name (DN) of the user group to be set to Active Directory must be between

1 and 250 characters. The number of user groups that can be registered at one time is 20 at
maximum.

User Groups

The administrator creates Remote Web Console user accounts and adds each user to a built-in
group. Registered users are able to use the Remote Web Console privileges that are assigned to
the user group(s) to which each user belongs. A user can belong to one or more groups.

Roles and user groups

The operations allowed to users depends on the roles assigned to the user groups . Roles are not
set in each user account, but in each user group. There are two ways to change the operations
that are allowed to users.
