Import a Group

To add a group of users, you can import an LDAP, SAML, or OIDC group.

Prerequisites

• This operation requires the rights included in the predefined Organization Administrator role or an equivalent set of rights.

• Verify that you have a valid connection to an LDAP server or that you enabled your organization to use a SAML identity provider.
• If you want to use OIDC, Configure Your System to Use an OpenID Connect Identity Provider.

Procedure

1. In the top navigation bar, click Administration.
2. In the left panel under Access Control, click Groups.
   The list of user groups appears.
3. Click Import Group.
4. Select a source from which you want to import the user group.
   You can only view the source LDAP, SAML, or OIDC server that you configured as an identity provider.
