What must be true for LDAP Group mapping to be successful?

For LDAP Group mapping to be successful, it is crucial to understand that not every single LDAP group in an organization needs to be mapped to roles within Splunk. This flexibility allows administrators to selectively choose which groups to integrate, based on their relevance to the roles that are utilized in Splunk. Administrators can focus on the specific groups that are necessary for managing access and permissions effectively, rather than being obligated to map every existing group in the LDAP directory.

This targeted mapping helps maintain a more streamlined security model, ensuring that only the relevant groups are given access to Splunk resources, thus simplifying management.
