How to configure user-specific usage restrictions

To configure use-specific permissions when using the AD/LDAP authentication settings, a set of attribute values for user permissions need to be configured.

Specify an attribute value for each attribute name defined for "Permission" under "Attribute Name Setting". If no attribute value is specified for a user, the user is given the permissions corresponding to the initial value.

The set of attribute values must be a five-digit number. Each digit has the meanings listed below.
