Add/Modify Group Information
If LDAP is being used for authentication, then the group name has to exactly match the
group name in the LDAP directory. If LDAP is not being used, Group Names can be entered
directly into the ETV Portal Server database. If Microsoft's Active Directory is used, to find
the available list of active groups in
Windows XP, browse to My Network Places and click on
the left-hand menu
Search Active Directory. A new window will open. Click Find now to see
all available groups. In
Windows 2000, go to My Network Places > Entire Network >
Directory

Add/Modify Group's User Assignments
Users can be assigned to specific User Groups, and they will inherit the privileges of that
group. If no Users appear, then none have been defined. However, if LDAP is being used for
Authentication, no users need to be defined. When a user Authenticates to the system, the
Authentication process will return the User's group information. The user will receive the
privileges that are provided to that group.
Add/Modify Group's Resource Assignments
Resource groups can be assigned to User Groups, and the User Group will inherit the
privileges of that Resource Group. If no Resource Groups appear, then none of been defined.
Click
Resource Groups in the main navigation to the left to create Resource Groups.
