Active Directory integration is the process of connecting and synchronizing an online meeting or collaboration platform with Microsoft Active Directory, a directory service used for managing user identities and permissions in a Windows environment. Key aspects of Active Directory:
Integration allows organizations to leverage their existing user accounts and security policies for seamless access to online meeting platforms.
It simplifies user management by enabling single sign-on (SSO), where users can use their existing network credentials to access the meeting platform.
Active Directory integration enhances security by ensuring that user access and permissions are consistent with the organization’s policies and guidelines.
User profiles and attributes can be automatically synchronized between Active Directory and the meeting platform, reducing administrative overhead.
This integration is particularly valuable for organizations that rely on Active Directory for user management and want to extend its benefits to online meetings and collaboration.
