Adding Groups
About this task
Groups are created by external credential/identity providers (Azure, LDAP, SOTI Identity, and so on). You can add groups created elsewhere to SOTI MobiControl and assign permissions to these groups (either directly or via roles).
To add a new group to SOTI MobiControl:
Procedure
- Select Users and Permissions from the main menu.
- In the left pane, select the Groups tab.
- Click the + icon at the top of the left pane to open the New Group dialog box (see the Edit Group).
-
Define the group parameters as required:
Groups This is the section that will list groups (LDAP, Azure, IdP, and/or SOTI Identity) once you add them (initially empty). The list includes the following columns:
- Name - the name of the group
- Service Name - the name of the service (connection) the group belongs to
- Type - the type of the connection - LDAP Directory, Identity Provider, etc.
Add (+) Click this icon to open a dialog box where you can search for, and select, groups to be included in the current group. If the group you want to include does not exist yet, you can create it. Click the Manage Services button and select an option from the list that opens:
- Directory - to create an LDAP or Azure group
- Identity Provider - to create an IdP group
- SOTI Identity - to create a group in SOTI Identity
Each of the above options will open the corresponding dialog box, where you can get further instructions by clicking the ? icon.
Roles This section lists all roles defined in your SOTI MobiControl instance. Turn on toggles of those roles you want to assign to the group.
- Click Save to save the new group or Cancel to close the dialog box without saving changes.
Example
What to do next
Review the access control policies for the SOTI MobiControl console and update them as necessary.
You can now assign the new group to one or more roles, edit the group parameters, and so on. For a complete list of group actions, see Built-in User Management.
