Add Group management cmdlets in the VMware.vSphere.SsoAdmin module

[dmilov]

Add a set of cmdlets similar to *-SsoPersonUser for group management.

To add on a use case: We'd like to be able to add a group from an ExternalIdentity source (i.e. LDAP) into a vSphereSSO Group (for example, administrators)

Another vote for this use case, I'm looking for this exact requirement right now. My team develop Validated Solutions (a.k.a. VMware Validated Designs) for VMware Cloud Foundation where least privilege access is critical and we have a procedure where we need to assign access to a group from AD over LDAP to the SSO Admin role to allow them to manage SSO.

Just published the 1.3.0 version of the module that adds set of cmdlet for group management.

• New-SsoGroup
• Get-SsoGroup
• Set-SsoGroup
• Remove-SsoGroup
• Add-GroupToSsoGroup
• Remove-GroupFromSsoGroup
• Add-UserToSsoGroup
• Remove-UserFromSsoGroup

The use-case is covered as well. Here is an example

Get-SsoGroup -Domain sof-powercli-qe.eng.vmware.com -Name 'DnsAdmins'

Name      Domain                         Description
----      ------                         -----------
DnsAdmins sof-powercli-qe.eng.vmware.com DNS Administrators Group

PS C:\Users\dmilov> $ldapGroup = Get-SsoGroup -Domain sof-powercli-qe.eng.vmware.com -Name 'DnsAdmins'
PS C:\Users\dmilov> $targetGroup = Get-SsoGroup -Domain vsphere.local -Name Administrators
PS C:\Users\dmilov> $targetGroup

Name           Domain        Description
----           ------        -----------
Administrators vsphere.local

PS C:\Users\dmilov> $ldapGroup | Add-GroupToSsoGroup -TargetGroup $targetGroup
PS C:\Users\dmilov> Get-SsoGroup -Group $targetGroup

Name      Domain                         Description
----      ------                         -----------
DnsAdmins sof-powercli-qe.eng.vmware.com DNS Administrators Group
