Derive User Group Membership Dynamically from an LDAP (Active Directory) Filter
You can populate a user group with the returned output from a User Base DN query. However, a group
of this kind differs in important ways from a group that you populate manually.
Note • Membership of such groups is dynamic—based on shared characteristics among the group of Active Directory
users who match your query.
•We update and clean these groups automatically during synchronization. Their membership will change after
synchronization runs, when the corresponding records in ActiveDirectory show that a user's membership should start
orstop.
•An imported ActiveDi rectory group is always read-only in DMS-Admin. By protecting it, we ensure that it is always correct,
relative to the original and subject to any delay between synchronizations. For this reason, you cannot edit their memberships
rolls manually.
•When you try to delete a user from a group of this type, DMS-Admin shows an error message: “You cannot remove any
user from a group associated with an LDAP bookmark.”
Every Month Synchronization recurs once each month. You must set the hour and
minute when it should start.
Custom Synchronization recurs at an interval of your choosing. You must set the
hour and minute when it should start.
Choose Days, Weeks, or Months as the interval type.
•
Choose a day of the month from 1 to 30 when the interval type
is Days.
•
Choose a day of the week when the interval type is Weeks.
•
Choose an interval of recurrence from 1 to 6 when the interval type
is Months.
