settings appear.

users stored on the external server to roles on the appliance:
a Click Add. The Group/User Role Mapping window opens.
b Select the checkboxes next to the input field for groups and users as needed and type group and
user names in these fields.
c Click OK.
d Under Role to map to, select a role.
