• 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.
