Add, Edit, and Delete Entries using IDS

The following sections describe the effects of adding, editing, and deleting entries from the directory service and from the MiCollab USP application. It's recommended that you add, edit, and delete all IDS managed entries from the directory service and use roles and templates to assign data to the MiCollab fields that are not supported in the directory service.

Adding Entries

Add a Directory Service user: When you add a user entry to the directory service, the user is added to the directory server and the data in the mapped attribute fields are copied to the MiCollab system on the next synchronization event. When creating the entry, ideally complete the following fields:

Add a MiCollab user:When you add a user entry in MiCollab USP, the user is created in MiCollab. Even if the IDS managed box is checked, the directory service is not updated with the new entry. Synchronization only occurs from the directory service to MiCollab. However, if a matching user entry is already present in the directory service, the entries are paired on the next synchronization interval. Additionally, if a role and template are assigned, the services are provisioned for the user.
