Managing Users from an IDM System that is Synchronized with MicroStrategy Identity

You can integrate identity management (IDM) systems, such as Microsoft Active Directory or OpenLDAP, with MicroStrategy Identity, then invite, add, and synchronize the users included in your Identity Network. These users are synchronized based on the groups or organizational units defined in your IDM system, ensuring that the information is up to date in your Identity Network:

• You can add or remove users from your Identity Network by using MicroStrategy Identity Manager to modify the groups or organizational units included from your IDM system.
• You can use MicroStrategy Identity Manager to distribute badges to users. Badge invitations include links and instructions for users to download the MicroStrategy Badge app to their smartphones.
• When user information is modified within your IDM system, those changes are then automatically synchronized with your Identity Network.

To Manage Users from Synchronized IDM Systems

1. Log into MicroStrategy Identity Manager.
2. Click Users & Badges.
3. Under User Management, click Groups.
4. Make any required changes to the groups or organizational units imported into your Identity Network:
   • To add the users in a group or organizational unit to your Identity Network, select the check box for the group or organizational unit that you want to add.
   • To remove the users in a group or organizational unit from your Identity Network, clear the check box for the group or organizational unit that you want to remove.
5. Click Import to apply your changes. Review the confirmation message, then click Yes. MicroStrategy Identity automatically synchronizes with your IDM system's groups and organizational units to determine the users included in your Identity Network.
6. If you have not configured MicroStrategy Identity to automatically send badges when you import users (see Enabling Automatic Badge Invitations), you must send badges to your users manually:
   1. Under User Management, click Manage Users.
   2. Open the Badge Invitation tab and select the check box next to each user whom you want to send a badge to.
   3. Click Send Badges(s) via Email, then click Send on the confirmation message. Badge invitations are sent to the users listed, including links and instructions for users to download the MicroStrategy Badge app and a functioning badge to their smartphones.
