SDS Manager does not copy your Active Directory user list. Instead, you can use single sign-on (SSO) with SAML: your employees sign in to SDS Manager with their company account, and your identity provider (for example Microsoft Entra ID, formerly Azure AD) decides who gets in.

The owner of the account sets up SSO in Settings → Single Sign-On (SSO), with the federation metadata document and the application (client) ID from your identity provider. There you also choose:

• Enable for users: switch SSO on for your users.
• Automatically create new users with role: an employee who signs in with SSO for the first time gets a user account with the role you choose, for example Staff.
• Assign role from identity provider: take the user's role from your identity provider.
