You can import users and groups after all LDAP server configuration is completed. TWCloud importing also works as a user synchronization mechanism. Existing users will only be synchronized and new users in the TWCloud Admin will be imported. You can see user data in the Users application before choosing to import users. This importing and synchronization mechanism applies to groups as well. Data, including full name, phone, email, and department, will be synchronized. 


To import/synchronize users and groups

  1. On the selected LDAP server card click the Import button. The Import LDAP user/group pane opens.

  2. Query all users/groups or specific users/groups and select them. 
  3. Click the button. New users/groups will be imported or existing users/groups will be synchronized. The existing user information will be updated but the role assignment stays the same.


You can assign roles in the same pane, while selecting users and groups to be imported.  


To assign a role from one user/group to another

  1. On the Import LDAP user/group pane, next to Role assignments, click Set Roles. 
  2. In the Set roles pane, type a role name in the search bar.
  3. Select a role. If it is a custom role, specify scope.
  4. Click the Save button to save the changes.
