Defining the new administrator group properties

In this wizard window, Create Administrator Group, you can define specific properties of the new administrator group.

1. Enter the name for the new group into the Name box.

   Information

   If you are synchronizing the new group with a directory server this text box is dimmed, as the name of the group is automatically updated with the name of the selected OU.

2. Optional: Enter some additional explanation into the Notes box.
3. If you are using the automatic creation for this administrator group without synchronization click Finish now.
   The wizard closes and the new administrator group is immediately created with the maximum rights possible.
4. For synchronization you need to enter the DN entry of the directory server with which to synchronize into the Group Entry DN box, click Select a Directory Server.
   The Select a Directory Server window appears.
   The dialog box lists all available directory servers with their organizational units (all available user groups).
5. If the directory server you want to synchronize with is not displayed in this list, that is, it has not yet been created in CM, you can directly create it from here as follows:
   1. Click the Create and connect to a new directory server button.
      The Properties dialog box appears on the screen.
   2. Enter the required information into the respective boxes (see topic Creating a Directory Server for more information).
   3. Click OK to confirm the new directory server.
      The window closes and the new directory server is added to the list of available servers in the Select a Directory Server dialog box.
6. Select an entry from the list, you can either select the directory server itself or one of its children. You have the following options:
   
   • (Optional) Select a directory server root and the check the box Synchronize All Administrators to synchronize all administrators of this active directory server.
   • Select an OU of a listed server to synchronize all administrators below this OU, including all those of existing sub-OUs.

   • (Optional) Check the Include Users with Specific Primary Group box to include all user for which the default primary group was modified.

     Information

     • Be aware that this type of synchronization does not recreate the directory structure of the OUs in CM, it will import all administrators in a flat list into the new group (contrary to the other types of groups in CM administrator groups cannot have subgroups).
7. Click OK to confirm.
   The Properties window appears.
8. Select the authentication type from the Authentication list and the login type from the Login Type list.
