Creating an Association Object
The Association Object is derived from a Group and must contain a Group
Type. The Association Scope specifies the Security Group Type for the
Association Object. When you create an Association Object, choose the
Association Scope that applies to the type of objects you intend to add.
For example, if you select Universal, the association objects are only available
when the Active Directory Domain is functioning in Native Mode or above.
To create an association object:
1
In the Console Root (MMC) window, right-click a container.
2 Select New  Dell RAC Object .
This opens the
New Object window.
3 Type a name for the new object.
4 Select Association Object .
5 Select the scope for the Association Object and c lick OK .
Adding Objects to an Association Object
Using the Association Object Properties window, you can associate users or
user groups, privilege objects, and RAC devices or RAC device groups. If your
system is running Windows 2000 mode or higher, use Universal Groups to
span domains with your user or RAC objects.
You can add groups of Users and RAC devices. The procedure for creating
Dell-related groups and non-Dell-related groups is identical.
Adding Users or User Groups
To add users or users groups:
1
Right-click the Association Object and select Properties .
2 Select the Users tab and click Add .
3 Type the user or User Group name and click OK .
Click the Privilege Object tab to add the privilege object to the association
that defines the user’s or user group’s privileges when authenticating to a
RAC device. Only one privilege object can be added to an Association Object.
