Creating Explicit User and Group Mappings
Learn how to create an explicit user or group map.
Table of Contents
Overview
As part of a user or group map, you can add explicit mappings from a user or group on the source to a user or group on the destination. These serve as exceptions to the automatic user or group mapping policies. The explicit mappings will be used to map users first, and any additional users or groups not in the mappings will be matched based on the automatic mapping rules selected for the map. Explicit user or group mapping can be defined manually during the map's creation or imported from a comma-separated values (CSV) file.
If you receive an error when importing a CSV file, the file does not meet the expected format. You will need to edit the file before attempting to import it again. Please see Mapping CSV Import File Guidelines for map templates and sample downloads.
