Before an administrator can manage access rights using Privilege Manager, they'll need to be added as a user in Recast Management Server and assigned a Recast role.
Add an Active Directory User or User Group
To add an AD user or user group:
1. In your Recast Management Server, navigate to Administration > Permissions.
2. In the Recast Users section, click Add User or Add Group.
3. In the window that opens, search for your AD name or AD user group and click the Add button.
NOTE: You can include a wildcard (*) to facilitate your search.
Wildcard examples:- John Connor returns strings that match exactly
- John C* returns strings beginning with 'John C', such as 'John Connor', 'John Connors', and 'John Cranston'
- *Connor returns strings ending with 'Connor', such as 'John Connor' and 'Carol O'Connor'
- *Support* returns strings that include 'Support' plus whatever is on the left and right, such as 'Customer Support Team' and 'Enterprise Support Group'
Assign a User a Role
Each user must be assigned at least one role.
To assign a user a role:
1. On the Permissions page, click the Edit icon to the right of the user or group.
2. In the Role Assignments window that opens, under Roles, select a role to assign to the user/group.
To learn about the individual permissions granted by a role, see View or Edit User Role Permissions.
3. Under Assigned Roles, enable Limit this user to specific objects and select a Service Connection to add a limiting rule that restricts user permissions to a set of devices (optional). To learn more, see Limiting Rules.
4. Click Save.
NOTE: Beginning with Recast Software Version 5.9.2502.2105, you no longer have to set a Refresh Interval to repopulate your limiting rules (formerly known as scopes). The scheduled Discovery Sync will keep your service connection data up to date.
