About this task

Reconciling the Windows local service copies user and group data from Windows and runs policies. When Windows administrators (service owners) create a shared folder, they can set security on the shared folder to a specific Windows group. Only that group can access the folder. Populating groups into the Identity Manager system is necessary to define an access to the shared folder.
