vCenter Operations Manager group.

9 Click OK to save your configuration.
vCenter Operations Manager stops importing LDAP users to the vCenter Operations Manager group that you
selected. The next autosynchronization also removes any existing users from the selected
vCenter Operations Manager group.
Configuring User Groups and Access Rights
You can place each user in one or more user groups, and you can assign access rights to user groups. The access
rights that you assign to a user group determine the vCenter Operations Manager features that members of
the user group can use. vCenter Operations Manager provides several predefined user groups. You can also
create your own custom user groups.
Perform access rights-related tasks only when you are logged in as a user who has administrative privileges.
