Adding Users from Active Directory

Use the Active Directory page to add users from Microsoft Active Directory. Permissions required to access this page: Access Admin Tab and Manage Active Directory.

To open the page, choose Admin > Configure > Security > Active Directory.

Note: This feature uses settings that are specified on the Preferences page. See Entering an ADS Path.

First, use the Search Options fields to narrow the Active Directory users that will be shown:

1. Specify the Domain to search in.
2. Specify a Group Type.
3. If desired, enter text to search for in the Group Name field to limit the groups shown.
4. Click the Load Groups icon, , to populate the Group drop-down list. Select the group of interest from the list.
5. If desired, use the Filter By fields to select a criterion for filtering the users and to specify the text to match.

Once you have specified all of your search criteria, click the Load Users link to populate the Active Directory Users list. Any Active Directory users that already have XFRACAS accounts will be shown in the Current XFRACAS Users list.

Use the arrows to move some or all user names from the Active Directory Users list to the New XFRACAS Users list. You can then set the basic account information, user groups, categories and permissions for all of the users in the New XFRACAS Users list. (For more details on these settings, see Managing Users.) Choose Admin > Users > Create to create the accounts.

The accounts will be created, and will appear in the Current XFRACAS Users list.
