You may define any AD users or groups as Scout administrators.

Note:

Check whether the relevant SQL Server permissions are set. For further information, see SQL Server users and application roles in the Installation guide.

In the Scout Console, click Security > Manage administrators…
In the Administrator rights dialog, click Add Administrators…

The Initial administrator profile dialog opens.
Select the access range for the new admin and confirm with OK.

The Windows Administrator rights dialog opens.
Below of the Group or usernames field, click Add…

The Windows Select Users or Groups dialog opens.
Enter the relevant AD username or AD group name, and then click Check Names.

Or:

Search for the AD user or AD group by using the Advanced… button.
Confirm with OK..

The new user or group is added to the list of administrators. You may assign the appropriate object rights to them now. For further information, see Administrator policy.

The administrators can log on to the Scout Console now by using their Windows account information.

Note:

If you use AD groups only, and if a user is a member of more than one group, the access rights of the groups are not consolidated, but the rights of the first group found apply. If users are authorized with their AD users and if they are authorized with one or more AD groups at the same time, the access rights are not consolidated but the rights of the AD user apply.
