Administering Domains

User information is obtained from one or more domains in which it is stored. FlexNet Operations users entered manually into the application are users in the FlexNet domain. Authentication information for a user in the FlexNet domain is stored in the FlexNet Operations database. If FlexNet Operations is configured to support one or more directory services, information for a FlexNet Operations user or group of users can be imported from the directory service. Only minimal information from the directory service is imported to allow FlexNet Operations to contact the service; authentication information for a user in a directory service domain is maintained in the directory service. Any user in a configured directory service domain can log in to FlexNet Operations. However, to perform any tasks in FlexNet Operations, a directory service user must be imported as a FlexNet Operations user or be a member of an imported group and be assigned at least one role.
