Import a Group from an LDAP Database
If an organization defines an LDAP service to use, an organization or system administrator can import groups
from that service. You cannot create a group. You must import it.
Importing a group from LDAP imports all the users in the group. You can also import users individually. See
“Import a User from an LDAP Database,” on page 150.
Prerequisites
n
Verify that you are logged in as an organization administrator or system administrator.
