Users Guide

• Standard schema solution that uses Microsoft’s default Active Directory group objects only.
• Extended schema solution that has customized Active Directory objects provided by Dell. All the
access control objects are maintained in Active Directory. It provides maximum flexibility to configure
user access on different CMCs with varying privilege levels.
Standard Schema Active Directory Overview
As shown in the following figure, using standard schema for Active Directory integration requires
configuration on both Active Directory and CMC.
In Active Directory, a standard group object is used as a role group. A user who has CMC access is a
member of the role group. To give this user access to a specific CMC card, the role group name and its
domain name need to be configured on the specific CMC card. The role and the privilege level is defined
on each CMC card and not in the Active Directory. You can configure up to five role groups in each CMC.
The following table shows the default role group privileges.
