Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise Version 3.1 User's Guide

Import AD and LDAP groups

NOTE: The users with administrator rights cannot enable or disable the Active Directory (AD) and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) users.

NOTE: Before importing AD groups in OpenManage Enterprise, you must include the user groups in a UNIVERSAL GROUP while configuring the AD.

  1. Click Import Directory Group.
  2. In the Import Active Directory dialog box:
    1. From the Directory Source drop-down menu, select an AD or LDAP source that must be imported for adding groups. For adding directories, see Add or edit Active Directory groups to be used with Directory Services.
    2. Click Input Credentials.
    3. In the dialog box, type the username and password of the domain where the directory is saved. Use tool tips to enter the correct syntax.
    4. Click Finish.
  3. In the Available Groups section:
    1. In the Find a Group box, enter the initial few letters of the group name available in the tested directory. All the groups names that begin with the entered text are listed under GROUP NAME.
    2. Select the check boxes corresponding to the groups be imported, and then click the >> or << buttons to add or remove the groups.
  4. In the Groups to be Imported section:
    1. Select the check boxes of the groups, and then select a role from the Assign Group Role drop-down menu. For more information about the role-based access, see Role-based OpenManage Enterprise user privileges.
    2. Click Assign.
      The users in the group under the selected directory service are assigned with the selected user roles.

    NOTE: For groups assigned to the Device Manager (DM) role, the group assignment for that DM must be completed after completing these tasks by using the steps for editing a local user and assigning groups for a device manager. See Add or edit Active Directory groups to be used with Directory Services.

  5. Repeat steps 3 and 4, if necessary.
  6. Click Import.
    The directory groups are imported and displayed in the Users list. However, all users in those groups will log in to OpenManage Enterprise by using their domain username and credentials.
It is possible for a domain user, for example john_smith, to be a member of multiple directory groups, and also for those groups to be assigned different roles. In this case, the user will receive the highest level role for all the directory groups the user is a member of.
  • Example 1: The user is a member of three groups with admin, DM, and viewer roles. In this case, user becomes an administrator.
  • Example 2: The user is a member of three DM groups and a viewer group. In this case, the user will become a DM with access to the union of device groups across the three DM roles.
