Explicit group mapping tab
To enter explicit group mappings, select the Explicit Group Mapping tab.
Figure 70
is an
example of the Explicit Group Mapping tab.
Explicit mappings allow the administrator to map any user or group manually to any other user
and group. Explicit mappings override simple mappings, giving administrators the capability
of using simple mapping for most groups and then using explicit mappings to make changes to
simple mappings. Simple mapping can be turned off for greater security.

To create explicit group mappings:
1. Click the List UNIX Groups button to populate the UNIX Groups box.
2. To map a local Windows group to a UNIX group, highlight the Windows group in the
Windows local groups box and highlight the UNIX group to map, and then click Add. The
Explicitly mapped groups box at the bottom of the screen is populated with the new
mappings. Repeat this process until all desired groups have been mapped.
3. To map a domain Windows group to a UNIX group, enter the domain and the group name
in the box in the middle of the screen (use the Domain\groupname format) and highlight
the UNIX group to map, and then click Add. The map is added to the Explicitly mapped
groups box at the bottom of the screen. Repeat this process until all desired groups have
been mapped.
4. To map multiple Windows groups to one UNIX group, one of the Windows groups must
be set as the primary mapping. Therefore, to indicate which group map is the primary
mapping, highlight the desired map in the Explicitly mapped groups box, and then click
the Set Primary button.
5. To delete a map, highlight the map in the Explicitly mapped groups box and then click
the Remove button.
6. After all entries are completed, click OK to activate the new entries.
