Importing Groups
All groups to be used in XProtect Central are imported from Active Directory. In order to be able to
import groups through the Active Directory service, a server with Active Directory installed and
acting as domain controller must be available on your network. Read more on page 39.
To import groups into XProtect Central, do the following:
1. In XProtect Central Client’s Navigation section, expand the User Configuration entry and
right-click Groups.
2. Select Import from Active Directory ... This will open the Import Users and Groups dialog.
3. In the Import Users and Groups dialog, click the Add button. This will open the Select Users
or Groups dialog.

From this location field. If not, click the Locations... button to browse for the required
domain.

Tip: Typing part of a group name is often enough. Use the Check Names feature to verify
that the names you have entered are recognized by Active Directory.

groups will now be listed.
