trator adds and maintains LDAP domains
designated group administrators (Sub Admins) access to
specific entities (nodes) within that domain. The group
administrator creates and maintains filtering profiles for
nodes assigned to him/her. For Active Directory or "Other"
server types, these nodes include primary or static
groups , workstations
For Open Directory, nodes include groups and users. For

Directory server types, these nodes also include dynamic
groups . If users belong to more than one group, the
global administrator sets the priority for group filtering.
