Active Directory Sync process

An Active Directory Sync automation process synchronizes groups and users between the Active Directory domain and the FileBound server on a scheduled interval. This process will not sync users that are in nested groups within the Active Directory system.

Example: A university uses FileBound to store various students' information. The university has over 500 users. On a daily basis, users are added and removed from the groups that have access to the FileBound system. The Active Directory Sync process can be configured to run on a 1 hour interval to automatically keep the users in FileBound in sync with the current users that are configured within Active Directory.

Note: This process will only work for on-premise FileBound installations; it cannot be implemented on FileBound Cloud sites.
