Role Mapping For Groups

User role mapping allows you to fine-tune the way Active Directory synchronization is performed. Administrators and read-only administrators are synchronized according to your User Directory structure.

The following role mapping options are available:

RoleDescription
AuditorUsers in groups specified in the list will be licensed as auditors
Global SupervisorUsers in groups specified in the list will be licensed as global supervisors
AdministratorUsers in groups specified in the list will be licensed as administrators
Readonly AdministratorUsers in groups specified in the list will be licensed as readonly administrators
Helpdesk AdministratorUsers in groups specified in the list will be licensed as helpdesk administrators

The local administrator account is also a supervisor. This ensures that you have one supervisor active at all times.

It is possible that a user is part of two or more groups where the groups were mapped to different kind of MetaDefender Managed File Transfer roles. As a user can only have one role assigned to it, the following order of precendence is applied:

  1. Administrator
  2. Readonly Administrator
  3. Helpdesk Administrator
  4. Auditor
  5. Global Supervisor

For example; Active Directory group A is mapped to the Administrator role while group B is mapped to the Auditor role. An active directory user who is member of both groups will have the assigned MetaDefender Managed File Transfer role of Administrator.

When you have customized the information according to your requirements, click Continue to Organizational Units Configuration.
