Treatment of manually created users

If Active Directory Import is enabled for your system, you can still create users manually and exclude them from the Active Directory import and synchronization process by clearing the Directory Sync Enabled checkbox for the user. The user is ignored by any future Active Directory Import jobs.

If you manually create a user and leave the Directory Sync Enabled checkbox selected, the user is treated as follows the next time an Active Directory Import job is run:

  • If the user matches a username in the Active Directory import, the user remains active and is synchronized with Active Directory.
  • If the user does not match a username in the Active Directory import, the user is disabled.
