Owner's Manual

5. Select one or multiple users in the Selected Users List
and click Apply to import the users.
NOTE: While importing Active Directory users, ASM roles are not automatically mapped to
Active Directory user roles. Therefore, it is important to assign an appropriate role level to each
imported user.
NOTE
: In the Selected Users List, each User Name is prefixed with a check box. Selecting this
check-box will allow you to Select Role to change the role of the selected user(s), from the
Change Roles drop-down list that appears on the top right of the Selected Users List box. By
selecting this check box, you can also revert the users back to the Selected Directory Users List
box. However, the selection of these pre-fixed check boxes in the Selected Users List does not
allow you to Apply only the selected users. On clicking Apply, all users get applied, irrespective
of check-box selection.
NOTE
: An active directory user is authenticated against the specific active directory that a user
belongs to.
