Assigning LDAP Computers directly to LDAP Groups

Assigning LDAP Computers directly to LDAP Groups

Groups can be assigned directly or indirectly to a computer. Indirect assignment is carried out by allocating the device with which a computer is connected and groups to company structures, like departments, cost centers, locations or business roles.

To react quickly to special requests, you can assign groups directly to a computer.

NOTE: Computers cannot be manually added to dynamic groups. Memberships in a dynamic group are determined through the condition of the dynamic group.

To assign a computer directly to groups

  1. Select the category LDAP | Computers.
  2. Select the computer in the result list.
  3. Select Assign groups in the task view.
  4. Assign groups in Add assignments.

    The view- OR -

    Remove groups from Remove assignments.

  5. Save the changes.

Overview of all Assignments

Overview of all Assignments

The report "Overview of all Assignments" is displayed for certain objects, for example, permissions, compliance rules or roles. The report finds all the roles, for example, departments, cost centers, locations, business roles and IT Shop structures in which there are employee who own the selected base object. In this case, direct as well as indirect base object assignments are included.

Example
  • If the report is created for a resource, all roles are determined in which there are employees with this resource.
  • If the report is created for a group, all roles are determined in which there are employees with this group.
  • If the report is created for a compliance rule, all roles are determined in which there are employees with this compliance rule.
  • If the report is created for a department, all roles are determined in which employees of the selected department are also members.
  • If the report is created for a business role, all roles are determined in which employees of the selected business role are also members.

To display detailed information about assignments

  • To display the report, select the base object from the navigation or the result list and select the report Overview of all assignments.
  • Use the Used by button in the report's toolbar to select the role class (department, location, business role or IT Shop structure) for which you determine if roles exist in which there are employees with the selected base object.

    All the roles of the selected role class are shown. The color coding of elements identifies the role in which there are employees with the selected base object. The meaning of the report control elements is explained in a separate legend. In the report's toolbar, click to open the legend.

  • Double-click a control to show all child roles belonging to the selected role.
  • By clicking the button in a role's control, you display all employees in the role with the base object.
  • Use the small arrow next to to start a wizard that allows you to bookmark this list of employee for tracking. This creates a new business role to which the employees are assigned.
