Description

eeadmin.assignUser

eeadmin.assignUser

systemNode=<>

nodeId=<>

dn=<>

[recursive=<>]

[ldapServerName=<>]

Specify systemNode='True' to indicate that nodeId=computer Id refers to an Trellix ePO - On-prem System, or systemNode='False' to indicate that nodeId=branch Id refers to an Trellix ePO - On-prem Branch.

Pass the Distinguished Name (DN) of the LDAP User or User Group to add accordingly. For LDAP Group addition, optionally specify:

  • recursive='True' to recursively add all subgroups, or

  • recursive='False' to avoid recursive addition (defaults to False)

You must specify the LDAP server name, if more than one server is in use in your organization; otherwise it is optional.

To confirm the node ID for a system, use this command: remote/system.find?searchText=$($SystemName)&:output=xml.

You can search by name, IP address, MAC address, user name, AgentGUID, or tag.

To check for node ID duplicates, use this command: EPOComputerProperties.ParentID.count
