About User Management Tool

The User Management Tool enables you to provision employee user accounts and distribution groups from Active Directory (AD).

The User Management Tool enables you to match ShareFile accounts to AD based on email address. It provisions and updates user information in ShareFile. In addition to distribution group membership, the tool allows you to specify policies a user is a part of, and to create multiple, named synchronization jobs that you can run repeatedly.
