Legacy LDAP users and groups

LDAP user role permissions were modified in PowerFlex version 4.0. For reference purposes, the following table shows the mapping of legacy users and groups to the roles now supported by PowerFlex.

Prior to PowerFlex version 4.0, PowerFlex mapped LDAP users and groups to actual roles. This mapping allowed assignment of multiple roles to a single group. Assignment of multiple roles to a group is no longer supported.

All legacy roles have a proximate hierarchy. The group's single role will be the highest ranking role.
