How to Create an Administrator to Manage a Federation Access Group

To create an administrator that can manage a federation access group, you select a user or group from your Active Directory users and groups and assign a role that is applicable to federation access groups in Horizon Console.

To apply to a federation access group, a role must contain at least one object-specific privilege that is applicable to federation access groups. Roles that contain only global privileges or access group-specific privileges do not apply to federation access groups.

Prerequisites

Procedure

1. Log in to the Horizon Console user interface for any Connection Server instance in the pod federation.

2. Select Settings > Administrators.

3. On the Administrators and Groups tab, click Add User or Group.

4. Click Add, select one or more search criteria, and click Find to filter Active Directory users or groups based on your search criteria.

5. Select the Active Directory user or group that you want to be an administrator user or group and click OK.

   You can press the Ctrl and Shift keys to select multiple users and groups.

6. Click Next and select a role.
