Managing groups
The administrator can create and manage local groups that are authenticated by IBM Spectrum® Discover. The administrator can also assign local or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) and IBM Cloud® Object Storage system-managed groups to roles and collections.
Use the Groups tab on the Access management page to view information about groups accounts that are authenticated by either a local domain, an LDAP server, or the IBM Cloud Object Storage server. You can also use the tab to add, edit, or delete local groups. You cannot edit or delete LDAP or IBM Cloud Object Storage groups, but you can assign these groups to roles and collections.
