Once the configuration is finished, you canapply it to any namespace in the clients’ Windows domain.For example, the following command sequence creates a management-authorizationgroup called “readOnly:”bstnA6k(gbl)# windows-mgmt-auth readOnlybstnA6k(gbl-mgmt-auth[readOnly])# ...Adding a Windows User to the GroupFrom gbl-mgmt-auth mode, use the user command to add one Windows client to thecurrent management-authorization group:user name windows-domain domainwherename (1-64 characters) is the name of a valid Windows client, anddomain (1-64 characters) is the client’s Windows domain.You can add multiple users to the group; invoke this command once for each user.For example, the following command sequence adds five users to themanagement-authorization group, “readOnly:”
