Import Users from Active Directory

You can use OneLogin’s Active Directory (AD) connector with real-time user synchronization to keep your AD user data up to date. You can also select different AD organization units (OUs) stored in AD connectors and import the data into your OneLogin account.

Before you can import AD data to OneLogin, you must verify your AD connection and install at least one Active Directory Connector.
