Import Directory Service Groups

Important: When IBM Aspera Faspex on Demand imports Active Directory (AD) groups, it is bounded by the AD server parameter "MaxValRange." If you would like to import a larger AD group, then please change the "MaxValRange" parameter on your AD server.

When importing a Directory Service group, all users listed under that group are added into Faspex. To import a group, start by going to Accounts and select the Directory Service Group tab. Any DS groups that you have previously imported are shown in the list.

Click the + New Group button and enter the directory service group attributes.
Typing three characters or more brings up the group list with matching keywords.

Important: You cannot import Directory Service (DS) groups that have the same name, regardless of whether or not they are on the same DS server. All DS groups must have unique names.
Click the Edit Additional Permissions link to specify permissions for the DS group.
For more information on setting additional permissions for the DS group, refer to Appendix: Additional User Account Permissions.
Click Done > Import when finished.
When adding directory service groups, Faspex searches for groups recursively to import users. For example, if group A contains Group 1, importing Group A also imports Group 1's members. Once imported, the directory service group's members are added to Faspex and the import page is updated with a link to view/edit the new group.

Click the View link to go back to the Accounts screen. Your imported DS users will appear in the accounts list, along with the type column identification DS.
