Hi Cosmos community 👋

Session 3 of our **VAST Customer Education Series** is happening tomorrow, and it’s one every admin should have on their radar. Once you know your way around VMS, the next question is always “who gets access to what — and how do I keep that secure?” This session is where that clicks.

**What we’ll cover:**

- VAST user & provider management overview
- Configuring identity providers — Active Directory, OpenLDAP, NIS
- Advanced attribute mapping & encryption
- Provider selection in multi-tenancy
- User lookups via VMS
- VMS role-based access control (RBAC) & custom realms

📅 **Wednesday, Aug 19 · 11am ET / 8am PT / 16:00 BST**
