UCS locales define the location of the user in the UCS organization hierarchy. A user without a locale assignment has access to the root organization. This means that the user has access to all sub-organizations. Locales can be mapped to the sub-organization, restricting the user access within the scope of the sub-organization. Locales can be created and then the user can be mapped to locales.
Perform the following steps to create a locale and restrict some users access to a sub-organization:
- Log in to UCS Manager.
- Click to expand the Admin tab in the navigation pane.
- On the Admin tab, click on User Management to expand User Services.
- Right-click on Locales in the navigation pane and click on Create Locale:
- Assign a Name for the locale and click on Next:
- Expand Organizations in the left-hand side pane and select the locale in the right-hand side pane:
- Click on Finish.
The new locale will be available which can be used by any locally or remotely authenticated users. Once the locale is assigned to the users/groups, the access will be limited to the sub-organization.
To assign a locale to remote Active Directory authenticated users/groups, perform the following procedure:
- Log in to UCS Manager.
- Click on the Admin tab in the navigation pane.
- On the Admin tab, click on User Management to expand the LDAP content.
- Select the existing AD group and double-click on it to edit the settings.
- A new option in the locale will be available which can be assigned:
