Adding a user group

Using the License Management Service console, you can add user groups.

You can add two types of user groups:

  • Local group: Groups that are created using this option are system level groups that is configured for License Management Service and are not visible outside License Management Service environment.

  • Global group: This option lets you add groups from global LDAP/AD domains, but you cannot create a new group on the domain.

You can give permissions such as Guest, Operator, and Administrator to both the types of groups. These permissions are required to perform operations on the License Management Service console.
