• Group Attribute – A username, password and group query is made to the directory service
for an appliance and attached target devices when using Query Mode (Appliance), or for a
selected target device when using Query Mode (Target Device). If a group is found
containing the user and the appliance name, the user is given access to the appliance or
attached target devices, depending on the group contents, when using Query Mode
(Appliance). If a group is found containing the user and target device IDs, the user is given
access to the selected target device connected to the appliance when using Query Mode
(Target Device).
Groups can be nested to a maximum of 16 levels in depth. Use nesting to create
groups within other groups. For example, you may have a top-level group named
Computers that contains a member named R&D, which is a group. The R&D group
may contain a member named Domestic, which is a group, and so on.
The following is an example of groups defined in Active Directory.
