Adding a User Directory Group to the IBM MaaS360 Portal

For organizations with a large number of users, an administrator can use departmentalization to manage LDAP/AD user groups in MaaS360 and take actions on those user groups. The global administrator manages users in a department, and can also create and maintain departments within the same MaaS360 customer account for other administrators such as the business unit administrator or the portal administrator.

Before you begin

The administrator must first install and configure the Cloud Extender® to add users from the Corporate Directory. If Cloud Extender is not installed and configured, the following error message is displayed:

1. From the IBM® MaaS360® Portal Home page, choose one of the following methods to add a user directory group:
   • 1. Select Users > Directory. The User Directory page is displayed.
     2. Click More > Add User Directory Group.
   • 1. Select Users > Groups. The Groups page is displayed.
     2. Click Add > User Directory Group.
2. Enter the names for the existing user directory groups that you want to import into the IBM MaaS360 Portal.
