Add a vCenter Single Sign-On Group
The vCenter Single Sign-On Groups tab shows groups in the local domain, vsphere.local by default. You
add groups if you need a container for group members (principals).
You cannot add groups to other domains, for example, the Active Directory domain, from the vCenter
Single Sign-On Groups tab.
If you do not add an identity source to vCenter Single Sign-On, creating groups and adding users can
help you organize the local domain.
