Users Guide

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.
