Managing Users and Groups 2

An organization administrator is the only one who can add users and groups to an organization. The

organization administrator assigns each user or group a role within the organization. Your role controls what

you can see and do in vCloud Director.

An organization administrator can create local user accounts within an organization or import users and

groups from an LDAP server. Contact your system administrator to set up an LDAP connection.

These default roles exist in vCloud Director.
