Group Synchronization

If large number of users need to be configured, you can enable Group Synchronization in the Directory Services section of SDL Tridion Content Manager configuration (MMC Snap-in). If you do not enable Group Synchronization, you need to add users manually to the Content Manager via Access Management > User Management > Add User.

When you enable Group Synchronization, users will be automatically be added to the Content Manager and added to the related group if the following conditions hold:

  • The user has access to at least one Publication in the Content Manager.
