AD and Custom UI groups and

Is it possible to associate a Custom UI group with an AD group, so that everyone that logs in to the custom UI in a certain AD group has access to only the applicable Custom UI group?

Where is this configured - in the Custom UI or Admin UI and under what category?

Thanks!

In the custom UI under Admin - Security.  We also import the users in the AD group instead of creating manually.

Custom UI > security as TD suggested. Configure a LDAP host, enable auto-sync, and a populate a LDAP group for the vCOps group(s) in focus.

If you find this or any other answer useful please mark the answer as correct or helpful.

One other thing:  we have several AD groups for different access levels, so we greated a separate OU that we use as the base dn in the LDAP host defintion.  That way, when we import, only the groups that we want are imported.  You might have multiple OU entries, depending on how your AD is configured.

OU=xxxxx,DC=xx,DC=xxxxx,DC=xxx
