Importing users into the MaaS360 Portal from corporate directories
You can integrate with the supported corporate directories to import users into MaaS360® automatically. This process eliminates the need to create user accounts manually.
You can use the MaaS360 enterprise integration offerings, Cloud Extender®, and Entra ID to connect with your corporate user directory and import existing groups and the associated user information. The imported information is used for automatic user provisioning, apps and docs distribution, and group-based policy assignment. You can configure Cloud Extender and Entra ID from .
Note: If there is a conflict with importing users, the directory users override the MaaS360 users.
MaaS360 supports the following user directories for Cloud Extender.
- Active Directory
- OpenLDAP
- Novell LDAP
