Administering Named Accounts in Domain or Directory Groups

If you have already added a Windows domain or LDAP directory group to your repository, you can add or remove members of the group to your Named Accounts list from within the group's Properties. This allows you to add or remove users from the Named User list without having to manually add each account. Note that Named Accounts must be individual user accounts.

Windows domain or LDAP directory groups can be marked as Named Users, but that will only add each user within the group to the list; it is provided for convenience only. This ability is only available for Windows domain or LDAP directory groups. Laserfiche groups cannot be managed in this way.

Note: These instructions are for Laserfiche Avante installations. For instructions for Laserfiche Rio, see Administering Named Users with Laserfiche Rio.

To add or remove members of a domain or directory group to the Named Accounts list:

    • LDAP directory groups: Expand the LDAP Management node and select the Accounts node.
  6. Double-click on the group whose members you want to manage.
  7. In the Named User option, expand the group. (If the user you want to manage is in a subgroup, expand that subgroup as well.)

    • Clear a user to remove that user from the Named Users list.
  9. Click OK to save your changes.
