The Groups tab enables you to query providers for a group. You can query any of the providers individually or you can run an aggregated query that retrieves a merged result from the user database.
On the Groups tab, click the Query Groups button (
).-
In the Query Groups dialog, in the Context field, select which provider(s) to query:
Local. Searches the local provider.
-
Aggregated. Searches all providers and retrieves a merged result. In case of conflicts between providers, attributes are resolved according to the following rules:
In case of conflict between local and non local providers, the local provider's attributes override those of the other providers.
In case of conflicting POSIX attributes on external providers, the POSIX primary provider overrules the other external provider.
All groups found for the user on all providers with distinct group names are treated as distinct groups to which the user belongs. Groups from different providers that share the same group name are merged according to the above conflict resolution rules.
AD, NIS or LDAP. Searches the specific provider only. (Each of these options appears only if a provider of that type is connected to the cluster.)
-
Enter one group attribute value to search for in the field provided for the attribute. You can search for any of the following:
GID (posix (NFS) group identifier)
Groupname
SID (SMB group SID)
-
Click Query.
If no group is found, an error message appears and the dialog remains open so that you can run another query.
If a group is found that matches the query, the group's details are displayed in the Groups tab. The context of the recent query is shown by the context indicator above the grid.
To query a group from the VAST CLI, use the group query command.
The output of an aggregated query (the default context) shows which provider each attribute was retrieved from:
vcli: admin> group query --context aggregated --groupname 'Remote Access Users' +---------------+----------------------------------------------+ | gid | 0 | | sid | S-1-5-21-927172180-3694312366-24219317-34376 | | name | Remote Access Users | | provider_type | NONE | +---------------+----------------------------------------------+
