LDAP Group

An LDAP group is a set of users or objects that are organized in an LDAP direcrory. The LDAP users can be imported into TA for improving user audit trails. These imported users inherit security from multiple LDAP groups.

Imported LDAP user information is stored into a user definition that includes email, telephone, etc. Imported LDAP users are allowed to be owners of scheduling constructs such as jobs if their security permits.
