There are several methods for synchronizing the information on CC-SG with the information on your AD server.
Daily synchronization of all modules: You can enable scheduled synchronization to allow CC-SG to synchronize all AD modules daily at the time you choose. See Synchronize All AD Modules. This synchronization is necessary only when you are using AD for authorization.
Scheduled synchronization using Task Manager: See Schedule a Task.
On Demand Synchronization: You can perform two types of synchronization whenever you choose:
All Active Directory Modules: This option performs the same operation as daily synchronization of all modules, but you can use it to synchronize at any time on demand. This synchronization is necessary only when you are using AD for authorization. See Synchronize All AD Modules.
All User Groups: Use this option when you have changed a user group. Synchronizing all user groups allows you to map imported and local user groups to user groups identified as part of an AD module. Synchronizing user groups does not update access information in CC-SG. You must synchronize all AD modules, either by waiting for daily synchronization to run or by running the on-demand synchronization of all modules, to update access information. See Synchronize All User Groups with AD.
