User's Manual
A user can be a part of maximum 32 user groups. This needs to be defined as comma separated string in Active
directory. Each group name can contain a maximum of 63 characters and the entire group name strings cannot
exceed 320 characters.
The AirGroup policy engine is enhanced to compare the user’s group membership (obtained using auth
module) and shared groups to determine if a user can discover the specific AirGroup server or not.
Example
The following example displays the status of the AirGroup server (Apple TV, AirPrint Printer, Google
ChromeCast, and so on) in a controller:
(host) #show airgroup servers

The following example displays the shared group information for devices registered in ClearPass Guest:
(host) #show airgroup cppm entries

The following example describes the user Alice is the member of Mathematics group and hence cannot
discover the 00:1e:65:2d:ae:44 appleTv (specified in the example above) as it is not shared with the
Mathematics group. Similarly, the user Bob can view the appleTv as it is shared with the Physics group.
