You can enroll users automatically by integrating with an existing directory service. It eliminates the need of having to add users manually to the Workspace ONE UEM.
Every directory user you want to manage through Workspace ONE UEM must have a corresponding user account in the UEM console.
You can directly add your existing directory services users to Workspace ONE UEM using one of the following methods.
For more information regarding syncing of account statuses, see the section documented on this page entitled Directory User Status Syncing.
When you make users inactive in your directory service, it impacts the corresponding Workspace ONE UEM and Workspace ONE Express account in a similar way but only assuming these prerequisite conditions.
You must create accounts for each user in the Workspace ONE UEM system and directory users authenticate using your existing corporate credentials.
This topic details creating user accounts one at a time. To create user accounts in bulk, see the section titled Batch Import Users and Devices in Batch Import Feature.
