Role Mapping for Groups

User role mapping allows fine-tuning of how active directory synchronization is performed. Administrators and read-only administrators are synchronized according to your user directory structure.

Role Mapping Options:

RoleDescription
AuditorUsers in specified groups will be licensed as Auditors
Global SupervisorUsers in specified groups will be licensed as Global Supervisors
AdministratorUsers in specified groups will be licensed as Administrators
Readonly AdministratorUsers in specified groups will be licensed as Readonly Administrators
Helpdesk AdministratorUsers in specified groups will be licensed as Helpdesk Administrators
Automation CoordinatorUsers in specified groups will be licensed as Automation Coordinator
Restricted AdministartorUsers in specified groups will be licensed as Restricted Administrator

The Local Administrator account is also Supervisor to ensure one active supervisor at all times.

If a user belongs to multiple groups mapped to different roles, the following precedence is applied:

  • Administrator
  • Readonly Administrator
  • Restricted Administrator
  • Helpdesk Administrator
  • Auditor
  • Global Supervisor
  • Automation Coordinator

Example: Active directory group A is mapped to the administrator role while group B is mapped to the auditor role. An active directory user who is member of both groups will have the assigned MetaDefender Managed File Transfer role of Administrator.
