Vault server user accounts imported from an Active Directory domain use the first name, last name, user name, e-mail address, and password associated with the Active directory account and cannot be edited. The domain name is displayed in front of the user name. Changes made to the Active Directory user account are updated in the vault server user account automatically.

Note: Imported users are not automatically assigned to a group, role, or vault unless they are members of a linked Active Directory group. For more information on linking Active Directory groups, see Import Domain Groups.
