| Document Vault Administration / User Groups | |
The Import User Groups feature allows you to import user groups to M-Files. To open the dialog, select the User Groups section under your document vault in the tree-view of M-Files Admin and click Import User Group...
User groups can be imported by domain and by organizational unit. This makes importing user groups into M-Files quicker and easier. M-Files can check for new and deleted user group members periodically.
Select the user group by domain and organizational unit. Also select a license type for the new login accounts. For more information, refer to Import Login Accounts. For more information about licenses, refer to License type under New Login Account.
You can also have M-Files check for new and deleted members of the group every 15 minutes. Otherwise, M-Files checks for changes with the Refresh Now action found in an imported domain user group's context menu.
The imported domain user group can also be disabled or edited.
For example, if the domain user group changes (it is for instance renamed or the grouping is changed), the earlier M-Files user group can be merged with the new domain user group. This preserves the identity of the M-Files user group regardless of changes in the domain user group, and the permissions related to it can remain the same.
In the user group's properties, enable Group members are synchronized from the domain and click Define.... Then edit the information for the user group to be imported.
