    Note
    Note
    Use the character (*) to search for multiple accounts. If you do not specify the wildcard character, include the complete account name. OfficeScan will not return a result for incomplete account names or if the default group "Domain Users" is used.
  4. When OfficeScan finds a valid account, it displays the account name under User and Groups. Click the forward icon (>) to move the account under Selected Users and Groups.
    If you specify an Active Directory group, all members belonging to a group get the same role. If a particular account belongs to at least two groups and the role for both groups are different:
    • The permissions for both roles are merged. If a user configures a particular setting and there is a conflict between permissions for the setting, the higher permission applies.
    • All user roles display in the System Event logs. For example, "User John Doe logged on with the following roles: Administrator, Power User".
  5. Add more accounts or groups.
  6. Select a role for the accounts or groups.
  7. Click Save.
  8. Inform users to log on to the web console using their domain names and passwords.
