Map Active Directory Groups to CSM Security Groups

When a User logs into CSM, the assigned security rights are based upon the CSM Security Group. When the User is a Directory Services User, the security rights only are assigned in an Active Directory Group. For this reason, Active Directory Groups must be mapped to CSM Security Groups.

Use the Security Groups window to define:

• The Security Groups for LDAP Groups.
• The order of Security Groups.

To map Directory Services Groups to CSM Security Groups:

1. In the CSM Administrator main window, click the Security category, and then click the Edit Security Groups task.

   The Security Groups window opens.

2. Select the Users tab on the Security Groups window (the directory service must be configured in the database).
3. Click Order groups. If no groups are shown in the Groups section, click Add.

   The Associate LDAP Groups window opens.

4. Provide a group or set of characters in the Starts with text field, and then click Search.

   The available groups appear.

5. Select the groups that should be associated with this CSM Security Group and click OK.

The window closes and the group appears in the Associated LDAP Groups section of the Security Groups window.
