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:
Role | Description |
---|---|
Auditor | Users in specified groups will be licensed as Auditors |
Global Supervisor | Users in specified groups will be licensed as Global Supervisors |
Administrator | Users in specified groups will be licensed as Administrators |
Readonly Administrator | Users in specified groups will be licensed as Readonly Administrators |
Helpdesk Administrator | Users in specified groups will be licensed as Helpdesk Administrators |
Automation Coordinator | Users in specified groups will be licensed as Automation Coordinator |
Restricted Administartor | Users 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.
