How to Add Business User Accounts to Active Directory Groups
This topic provides instructions for adding business user accounts to Active Directory groups that are defined on the domain controller.
For business users to be able to access the Business Management applications, they must be assigned to one or more groups which have been added to the authorization roles, or they must be added to the authorization roles themselves. We recommend that you add the business user accounts to the Active Directory groups, and add the Active Directory groups to the authorization roles.
For each business user, you create a Microsoft Windows user account on the domain controller following the instructions for creating accounts as described in How to Create a Domain Account in Active Directory. Then, you add the user account to one or more Active Directory groups by using the following steps.
To add business user accounts to Active Directory groups
Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Active Directory Users and Computers.
In the Active Directory Users and Computers window, right-click the group account to which you want to add the user, and then click Properties.
In the Properties dialog box, on the Members tab, click Add, type the Windows accounts of the appropriate business users, and then click OK.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 to add the business user accounts to the Active Directory group accounts as needed.
