Admin groups allow you to determine which admin users can access which StorageGRID features.
Before you begin
- You must be signed in to the Grid Manager using a supported browser.
- You must have specific access permissions.
- If you plan to import a federated group, you must have configured identity federation and the federated group already exists in the configured identity source.
Procedure
- Select .
- Click Add.
- For Type, select Local if you want to create a group that will be used only within StorageGRID, or select Federated if you want to import a group from the identity source.
- If you selected Local, enter a display name for the group. The display name is the name that appears in the user interface. For example,
Maintenance Users
or ILM administrators.
- Enter a unique name for the group.
For a local group, enter whatever unique name you want. For example, ILM Admins.
For a federated group, enter the group's name exactly as it appears in the configured identity source.
- Select one or more management permissions.
You must assign at least one permission to each group; otherwise, users belonging to that group will not be able to sign in to StorageGRID.
- Click Save.
The new group is created. If this is a local group, you can now add one or more users. If this is a federated group, the identity source manages which users belong to the group.
