To meet the specified requirements, a custom role needs to be created for User1 that grants full access to both the Fabric Interconnect infrastructure and network security operations, as well as storage operations configuration. This custom role ensures that User1 has the necessary permissions across different areas of the UCS Manager. Using LDAP for role-mapping with Active Directory allows for the integration of UCS Manager with the existing AD infrastructure, enabling centralized management of user credentials and access rights12. References := The process for integrating Cisco UCS Manager with Active Directory and configuring custom roles can be found in the official Cisco documentation, such as the Cisco Secure Access Control System Configuration Guides and the Cisco Community discussions on UCS Manager and Active Directory integration12. These resources provide step-by-step instructions and best practices for setting up access control in UCS Manager using Active Directory.
