Google Apps Directory Sync Administration Guide - Manual (Page 84)

User Search Rules
This shows a list of rules used when generating the LDAP user list.
By default, all users that match these search rules will be added to the Google
Apps user list and all users that do not match these search rules will be removed.
You can change this behavior with exclusion filters.
This page shows the list of search rules. In a new configuration, this will be an
empty list. To add a search rule, click Add Search Rule.
Note: You cannot create an LDAP rule to exclude a specific OU in your LDAP
directory. Instead, limit the LDAP administrator authority on your LDAP directory
server, removing access to any OUs on your LDAP directory server that you do
not want to synchronize.
On the list of Search Rules, you can change existing rules:
• Reorganize: Click the up arrow or down arrow icon to change the order of
search rules.
• Edit: Click the notepad icon to edit the settings of a search rule.
• Delete: Click the X icon to delete a search rule.
Search rules are processed in the order listed. If you would like one search rule to
take priority over another, move that search rule up using the up arrow icon on this
page. If two rules contradict each other, the first rule takes precedence.
