Yes

Tip

To restrict users able to login to FlexDeploy by membership within a particular LDAP group, you can use a search filter similar to the following. This assumes that your LDAP supports the memberOf virtual attribute.

(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName={0})(memberOf=CN=FDDevelopers,CN=Users,DC=flexagondev,DC=local)

Similarly, more than one group would look like this.

(&(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName={0})(|(memberOf=CN=FDDevelopers,CN=Users,DC=flexagondev,DC=local)(memberOf=CN=FDAdmins,CN=Users,DC=flexagondev,DC=local))
