      Select Role

      Select a role from the drop-down. Roles are predefined in A10 Control application, see A10 Control Predefined Roles.

      When a role is assigned to an access group, all its members are granted with the same permission.

      The resource type to which the role and permissions apply.

      The following are the available scope types:

      • Org Units
      • Clusters
      • Service Partitions

      Instance

      Depending on the role selected, select the instances of resources.

      For example, for an Org-Unit Admin role, select an Org-Unit account that users can access the access group.

      Permission

      The type of access that the user has for the selected scope and instance.

      The following are the available permission types:

      • Read & Write
      • Read Only
      User Auth

      This section is displayed only when an external or a remote server such as LDAP/LDAPS, Azure AD, Okta, or TACACS+ is configured for authentication and authorization to log in to A10 Control.

      User Auth Group

      Map the user auth group from list or text field to login with external user.

      • If the user auth group is configured with LDAP/LDAPS or Azure, the drop-down list retrieves the group information directly from the directory. Select a user auth group from the list.
      • If the user auth group is configured with Okta or TACACS+, then enter the user auth group in the User Auth Group field.
