New window for selecting Windows Accounts

If you need to grant access to Windows accounts, you must first declare them in your Visual Guard Repository.

VG 2018 includes a new search window to query Active Directory and declare Windows Accounts or Windows Groups in your VG Repository:

Selecting AD accounts

• In the VG WinConsole, click on "Users" > "Add" > "Add Windows User or Group"
• The "Select Users or Groups" window is displayed.
• Click on "Advanced" or enter a string and click on "Check Names".

• Select an operator and type a string in “Common Queries” to list AD accounts.
• Check boxes in the grid to select 1 or several AD accounts

Sorting AD Accounts

If you have a large number of AD accounts, you may need to filter and sort them.

• Click on a header to sort your result : once for ascending, twice for descending,
• A small arrow appears on the right of the title, reminding the ascending/descending order,
• If you need more than 1 sorting criteria, press the [Shift] and select additional columns,
• If you wish to remove a sorting criteria, press the [Ctrl] key and select the corresponding column.

Selecting specific AD accounts

• Click on the small pin next to a column title,
• A listbox opens where you can select some specific values,
• Rows are dynamically filtered in the grid as you check boxes in the listbox.

Adding a single filter

Instead of selecting specific values, you can create a filter:

• Click on the symbol below the column title
• Select an operator in the list
• Type a value next to the operator

• Rows are dynamically filtered while you are typing.
• Your filter is described below the grid.

Adding multiple filters

If you need more filter criteria, click on "Edit filter", in the bottom right corner of the grid.

• The "Filter Editor" window opens
• Add more filter criteria > they are listed in the Editor
• Click "Apply" to test your criteria, "OK" to validate and return to the grid

When adding a new criteria, click on each keyword to choose:

1. The logical operator combining this criteria with others
2. The column to which the new criteria will apply
3. The operator of the criteria
4. The corresponding value

• Disable/enable your filters by clicking on the bottom left checkbox
