Create a Scheduler job to import users from Active Directory

After Active Directory synchronization is enabled for your system, you must create a Scheduler job to import users from Active Directory into Axiom Platform.

The Scheduler job must contain an Active Directory Import task. Each import task can import users from a single Active Directory domain into the current Axiom Platform system. The import task specifies the Active Directory domain and groups to import and role mappings for those groups. When setting up the job, you can configure a scheduling rule so that it runs nightly, weekly, or at the appropriatefrequency for your organization.

To import users from multiple Active Directory domains, you must create an import task for each domain. You can create a single Scheduler job with multiple import tasks or separate the import tasks into multiple Scheduler jobs. If all of the import tasks can use the same schedule, it is easier to create a single job with multiple tasks.

For Axiom Cloud systems, the Active Directory Import task can import users from your local Active Directory using the Axiom Cloud Integration Service. If you have a remote data connection that is enabled for user authentication, this task uses that connection when the job is executed by Scheduler. For more information, see Managing remote data connections.
