AdminStudio Inventory and Rationalization 2015 SP1

If you have defined a directory service connection, as described in Creating a New Directory Service Connection, you can choose to import accounts or groups from that directory service into AdminStudio Inventory and Rationalization. You import those accounts or groups using the Directory Services Import page, which is opened by clicking Directory Service Account/Group Import on the Account Administration page.

Note • AdminStudio Inventory and Rationalization supports Windows Active Directory and Novell eDirectory directory services.

The following options are included:

Select one of the following:

•

Show All—Select this option to select your account from a list of all accounts and groups in the directory service.

For example, to search for all of the users that start with the letter P, use the asterisk wildcard character (*) and enter P* in the Filter list by box.

In either case, click Find to return your chosen list of accounts and groups.

Select Group or User to Add

The selected user or group is then opened in the Account Details Page.
