Import Users from Directory
This tutorial explains how to view the users from the master directory and import them to the Unifyia platform.
Before You Begin
- Ensure that you're registered with the necessary privileges as an authorized operator within
your organization.
- You must have at least one active identity device to access the Unifyia platform.
- The directory from where you are trying to import the users must be integrated.
- Groups must be created for the users being imported and group mappers must be configured for
the directory. If not, all the users will be assigned to the default workflow which has
preconfigured groups. Note that for an organization, there can be only a single default
workflow.
- Mappers must be configured to map the user attributes to the directory attributes.
- Read about integrating directories to understand the intgration process and attribute mapping.
Import Users
The Unifyia platform enables you to view the mapped attributes of a selected user and import the user
from a selected directory. The imported users can be issued credentials from the Unifyia platform.
- Go to Management > Master Directory View.
- On the displayed page select a Directory from the drop down.
- Provide either first name, given name, last name, email, or username to search for a user. Press
Enter.
- The list of users matching the given search criteria is displayed.
- Select the user that you wish to import and select the View Details icon under
the Actions column to view the details of the user.
- Select Import to import the user.
- You can notice the message that the user has been successfully imported.
- You can now issue credentials according to the configured organization policies. To learn more about the issuance and management of various types of identities refer to the Credential Management System.
NOTE
If you import a user, issue credentials, and then re-import the same user from the directory,
only the user details are updated. The details of the issued devices remain unchanged.
