Can I add groups from Active Directory to MetaDefender Kiosk Workflow Profiles?

Overview

MetaDefender Kiosk supports integration with Microsoft Active Directory (AD), allowing administrators to assign specific Workflow Profiles to users or groups. This enables streamlined access control and tailored workflow behavior based on AD group membership.

Steps to Add Active Directory Groups

1. Connect MetaDefender Kiosk to Active Directory

Navigate to the MetaDefender Kiosk Management Console > Workflows > Employee Workflow > Set Default Login Method > MetaDefender Kiosk Authentication

Select Remote Active Directory as the authentication method and configure your AD server. This connection enables MetaDefender Kiosk to read group information from your AD environment.

Note: The user configuring this must have read/write permissions on Active Directory.

2. Create or Edit a Workflow Profile

Go to the Workflows > Employee Workflow section in the Management Console. From here, either:

• Create a new profile, or
• Edit an existing one.

3. Add AD Groups to the Profile

• A list of available AD groups will appear.
• Select the desired groups.
• Click the Add button to include them in the profile.

This assigns the selected AD groups to the workflow, enabling automatic application of the workflow rules to users in those groups upon authentication.
