AD Group Map for Active Directory Accounts

Active Directory (“AD”) administrators can grant AD accounts access to use IPTV Management Console by configuring the “AD Group Map”. This setup involves two key steps:

  • Create an “AD Group Map” in IPTV Console, where each “AD Group” defines a specific combination of “Role” and "Access Sites”.

  • Assign appropriate AD Groups to the relevant AD Accounts within the Active Directory.

Once the AD Group Map is properly configured, users can log into the IPTV Console using their AD credentials. The login format is:

  • ACCOUNT: domain_name\user_id

  • PASSWORD: the corresponding domain password

The process of configuring the “AD Group Map” is as follows.

To adjust priority, you must reorder the AD Groups as follows:

  1. Select the AD Group to move.
