Active Directory Import
Once you click on Directory Import you will get the following box:
Note: You must have Impero configured to work with your Active Directory First.
View Groups: These groups are security groups within your Active Directory and will be dynamic with Impero. Any changes you make in Active Directory will also be changed within you Impero Group.
View Containers: These groups are Organizational Units (OU’s) and these are static imports and any changes you make within Active Directory would not update Impero. You will need to manually update Impero to reflect your changes in Active Directory. This is a limitation of Active Directory.
