Role Mapping for Groups

User role mapping allows fine-tuning of how active directory synchronization is performed. Administrators and read-only administrators are synchronized according to your user directory structure.


Role Mapping Options:

Role

Description

Auditor

Users in specified groups will be licensed as Auditors

Global Supervisor

Users in specified groups will be licensed as Global Supervisors

Administrator

Users in specified groups will be licensed as Administrators

Readonly Administrator

Users in specified groups will be licensed as Readonly Administrators

Helpdesk Administrator

Users in specified groups will be licensed as Helpdesk Administrators

Info

The Local Administrator account is also Supervisor to ensure one active supervisor at all times.

If a user belongs to multiple groups mapped to different roles, the following precedence is applied:

  • Administrator

  • Readonly Administrator

  • Helpdesk Administrator

  • Auditor

  • Global Supervisor

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.
