Add a Directory User to a Data Collector User Group
Add a directory user to a Data Collector user group to allow the directory user to access Unisphere Central. Access can be granted to users
that belong to the domain to which the
Data Collector is joined, domains in the same forest, and domains that belong to forests for which
one-way or two-way trusts are congured.
Prerequisite
The Data Collector must be congured to authenticate users with an external directory service.

If a Storage Center is selected from the drop-down list, click (Home) in the left navigation pane.

– User name (example: user)
– User Principal Name (example: user@domain)
NOTE
: To add users that belong to a domain other than the domain for which the Data Collector is congured, use the
User Principal Name format.
7 Click Check Names to verify that the specied users exist in the directory service. A message appears.
NOTE
: Checking names is not supported on domains for which a one-way trust is congured.
8 Click OK to close the message.
9 If any of the specied directory user names could not be veried, correct the names and then click Check Names again.
