Add Users from LDAP Dialog Box of the Users Page

Overview

Use this dialog box to search for and import users into P6 from your LDAP repository. You can add users from the LDAP repository when your global profile has the privilege Provision Users From LDAP. The dialog box allows you to import multiple users at once. Periodically, you can check back to view any user accounts that were modified within the LDAP repository and re-import those users to keep P6 up to date.

User Status field

An indication of the relative state of the user account in both the LDAP repository and P6. By default, the user accounts shown in your search results on this dialog box are grouped hierarchically by the following status types:

  • User does not exist in the database: Shows users who exist in the LDAP repository but not in the P6 database. When you select these accounts and click Import, they are imported as new records in P6 .
  • User modified: Shows user accounts that have similar information in both P6 and the LDAP repository, but that also have been modified in the P6 EPPM database or LDAP repository. When you select these accounts and click Import, the two account records are synchronized.
  • User records match: Shows users who have the same information in both P6 and the LDAP repository.

Load LDIF button
