First you must setup your LDAP authentication under BIG-IQ System. Docs for that are here: https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-iq-centralized-mgmt/manuals/product/bigiq-central-mgmt-initial-setup-4-6-0/4.htmlunique_78898411

 

After your LDAP auth provider is setup, you can assign users and groups to roles here: https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-iq-centralized-mgmt/manuals/product/bigiq-central-mgmt-device-4-6-0/9.htmlunique_1118044730

 

Hint, if the group search button does not populate a list of groups, you need to go back and edit your LDAP auth provider settings in step 1 above.
