Organizational Unit Assignment

An organizational unit (OU) is a container for the objects where you can place users, groups, computers, and other organizational units. You can create organizational units to mirror your organization's functional or business structure.

This design step allows you to create rules to select specific users using filters and assign them the desired organizational unit.

If there is no OU found in the custom mapping rule, then the integration will move user to the default OU.

Note- This is a mandatory step, you will have to fill out the default OU dropdown to move to the next step.

How to create a Rule for mapping the organizational units?

Once you are on this step you will see a section under the heading Add user to OU. This section represents a rule based on which organizational units can be assigned to selected users.

In a multi-domain controller setup, you can assign an OU to the user from any of the base DN depending on the condition.

Following are the steps to create a rule

1. Firstly, you need to set priority for the rules you are mapping. Use numbers to define the priority for the mapping the rules. Lower the number, higher the priority.

2. After that, you can set up the filters to select the users you want to assign organizational units to. You can create a filter using the following steps -

   • Click on "Choose Attribute" and select employee attribute and operation you want to apply to match that attribute.
   • Next, you get a "Value" field where you type the value you want to match the attribute with and also choose the OU you want to assign.

3. You can add multiple filters using the "AND" and "OR" logic. These logics can be added using the : button present on the right of the value input field.

4. You can add multiple rows of the above filters using + button inside the box.

Adding the default organizational units

This is a mandatory field. To add default organizational units, you need to click on the data present in the "Choose OU" dropdown.

Organizational unit that is selected in the "Choose OU" dropdown will be assigned to the users in case if there are no matched rules or if you haven't created any rules.

If you have enabled multi-domain controller option, then you will need to provide default organizational units for all the domain controllers that you have provided in the connection page.

Import And Export Mapping Rules

Using this feature, you will be able to import all the mapping rules by uploading a .csv or .xlsx file. Also, you can export all the mapping rules as a .csv/.xlsx file.
