Synchronize Users and Groups
Synchronizing users and groups means the management center queries the realms and directories you configured for groups and users in those groups. All users the management center finds can be used in identity policies.
If issues are found, you most likely need to add a realm that contains users and groups the management center cannot load. For details, see Realms and Trusted Domains.
Before you begin
Create a management center realm for each Active Directory domain and a management center directory for each Active Director domain controller in each forest. See Create an LDAP Realm or an Active Directory Realm and Realm Directory.
You must create a realm only for domains that have users you want to use in user control.
You can nest Microsoft AD groups and the management center downloads those groups and the users they contain. You can optionally restrict which groups and users get downloaded as discussed in Create an LDAP Realm or an Active Directory Realm and Realm Directory.
