Group objects represent groups in the LDAP server of which the user is a member. The access
level represents the user account's permissions and rights in the device's management interface
(e.g., Web and CLI). The access level can either be Monitor, Administrator, or Security
Administrator. For an explanation on the privileges of each level, see
User Accounts.
When the username- password authentication with the LDAP server succeeds, the device
searches the LDAP server for all groups of which the user is a member. The LDAP query is based
on the following LDAP data structure:
The search filter is applicable only to LDAP-based login authentication and
authorization queries.
The search filter is a global setting that applies to all LDAP-based login
authentication and authorization queries, across all configured LDAP servers.

The Management LDAP Groups table is applicable only to LDAP-based login
authentication and authorization queries.
If the LDAP response received by the device includes multiple groups of which the
user is a member and you have configured different access levels for some of
these groups, the device assigns the user the highest access level. For example, if
the user is a member of two groups where one has access level "Monitor" and the
other "Administrator", the device assigns the user the "Administrator" access level.
When the access level is unknown, the device assigns the default access level to
the user, configured by the 'Default Access Level' parameter as used also for
RADIUS (see Configuring RADIUS-based User
the following scenarios:
✔
The user is not a member of any LDAP group.
✔
The group of which the user is a member is not configured on the device (as
described in this section).
✔
The device is not configured to query the LDAP server for a management
attribute (see Configuring LDAP
