Assigning permissions to a user group

Last published : Jul 06, 2026
You can assign administrator permissions to the user groups in an existing or a newly configured LDAP domain.
Note: To assign the Guest or the Operator role to a user group on a perspective, you must log in as an administrator using the browser-based CMS user interface.
To assign permissions to a user group
  1. Log in to the CMS as an administrator.
  2. To assign permissions, run the following command:# /opt/VRTSsfmcs/webgui/jre/bin/java -cp /opt/VRTSsfmcs/webgui/tomcat/lib/vom_shared.jar vrts.vom.shared.util.ConfigLdap configure
The system prompts you to choose whether you want to only configure the LDAP domain or only assign permissions to the user groups.
  1. Enter No to only assign permissions for a user group.
  2. At the prompt, enter Yes to add permissions to a user group in an existing LDAP domain.
  3. Enter the name of the LDAP server that you want to configure.
  4. Enter the LDAP or the AD domain that corresponds to the user group to which you want to assign permissions.
  5. Enter the name of the user group to which you want to assign permissions.
  6. Enter one or more perspectives on which you want to assign the permission to the user group: SERVER, AVAILABILITY, STORAGE, VIRTUALIZATION, and INFRA.
    Note: This input is case sensitive. Ensure that your input matches exactly with the input options specified at the prompt.
  7. Enter Admin to assign the administrator permissions to the user group on the selected perspective.
    Note: This input is case sensitive. The system checks and removes any old permissions that are assigned to the specified user group.
  8. When prompted, enter Yes to continue assigning permissions to other groups in the same LDAP domain, or enter No to exit.
On successful completion, the newly assigned permissions are visible on the browser-based CMS user interface.
