#
Creating Usergroups based on Users
#
Introduction
Configure user-to-groups.map
to create usergroups based on users.
Apply the configurations shown in the Open iT server.
#
Configuring user-to-groups.map
Open
user-to-groups.map
in the Configuration director, which is by default inC:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\Configuration
.Notice that it contains instructions on how to edit the file.
Specify usernames with the following syntax:
MAP: UserGroupName (GroupType) User1 User2 UserN
It is recommended to include the
GroupType
, although the mapping will work regardless of its inclusion.Empty lines are allowed — any line beginning with # as the first non-white character is considered a comment. Globbing is also supported. You can use several globbing patterns, but keep in mind that they are slower than exact matches.
In the mapping file, entries are case-insensitive. This means that variations in capitalization, such as 'User' and 'user', will be recognized as identical. Also, both leading and trailing spaces are removed from entries.
Each user can belong to multiple groups.
ExampleMAP: Finance (Department) User079 User291
This example maps User079 and User291 in Finance and using the Department as group type.
Save the changes.
The mapping file will only affect the data collected after configuring. To apply the mapping for historical data, you need to regenerate that data. This process will help ensure that all your information is aligned and accurate.
