Adding an LDAP group

LDAP groups are used for managing user data stored on an LDAP server. This will not create any user account within Xima® Formcycle, as it would be created when setting up users as described in the help pages for LDAP. A virtual account will be created for the user when they sign in. Virtual users will not be written to and saved in the database.
