3 Adding Users and Groups 3 VMware recommends that you connect Lab Manager to an LDAP server to add and authenticate users. This method allows you to use the LDAP server's existing user and group information, without recreating this information in Lab Manager. You can also create local users from the Web console. A system administrator or an administrator with rights at the organization level can add users or groups to an organization and assign each user or group a role in the organization. The organization determines which resources a user has access to, and the role determines how a user can interact with these resources. Users cannot log in to Lab Manager or access any resources until they are added to an organization.

VMware recommends that you connect Lab Manager to an LDAP server to add and authenticate users.
This method allows you to use the LDAP server’s existing user and group information, without recreating this
information in Lab Manager. You can also create local users from the Web console.
A system administrator or an administrator with rights at the organization level can add users or groups to an
organization and assign each user or group a role in the organization. The organization determines which
resources a user has access to, and the role determines how a user can interact with these resources.
Users cannot log in to Lab Manager or access any resources until they are added to an organization.
