Explicit User Mapping Tab

Explicit (or advanced) mappings allow the administrator to map any user or group manually to
any other user and group. Advanced mappings override simple mappings, giving
administrators the capability of using simple mapping for most users and then using advanced
mappings for the users with unique names on the different systems. Alternatively, simple
mapping can be disabled completely, relying solely on explicit mappings. Explicit mappings
create the most secure mapping environment.
Security issues seen in simple mappings do not exist in explicit mappings. Explicit user
mappings specifically correlate two users together, thus preventing the inadvertent mapping.
To enter explicit user mappings, select the Explicit User Mapping tab.
