Creating Users by Importing Details from an Active
Directory
If you are using active directories to store user details in your organization, you can create inSync users
by importing their details from the active directories. This will save you the effort of creating the users
individually. From an active directory, you can only import users with email addresses.
Creating users from an active directory is a multi-step process.
Step Description Topic
1 Register the active directory with inSync. Registering an Active Directory
2 Create the requisite AD mapping for importing user
details. In an AD mapping, you define the criteria
based on which users will be imported from the
AD. Each of these users will be assigned the profile,
storage, and user quota defined in the mapping.

3 Create the users. You can choose to create users
manually or let the AD mapping import user details
periodically from the AD.
