Add a Directory User to a Data Collector User Group

Add a directory user to a Data Collector user group to allow the directory user to access Unisphere Central. Access can be granted to users that belong to the domain to which the Data Collector is joined, domains in the same forest, and domains that belong to forests for which one-way or two-way trusts are configured.

1. If a Storage Center is selected from the drop-down list in Unisphere Central, click (Home).
   The Unisphere CentralHome page is displayed.
2. Click Data Collector.
   The Data Collector view is displayed.
3. Click the Users & System tab and then select the Users & User Groups subtab.

     • User Principal Name (example: user@domain)
     NOTE To add users that belong to a domain other than the domain for which the Data Collector is configured, use the User Principal Name format.
7. Click Check Names to verify that the specified users exist in the directory service. A message appears.
   NOTE Checking names is not supported on domains for which a one-way trust is configured.
8. Click OK to close the message.
9. If any of the specified directory user names could not be verified, correct the names and then click Check Names again.
