You can manage users and groups within the Active System Manager either directly (by

interface [GUI]), or by importing users from an external repository, such as Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), Active Directory (AD), or Network Information Service
(NIS).
For user management, log in to the Windows client and navigate to Tools > User and
Groups. The Security Management—Users and Groups dialog box displays.
