Import an Active Directory Domain User Account

Vault server user accounts imported from an Active Directory domain use username and email address associated with the Active directory account and cannot be edited.

The domain name is displayed in front of the username. Changes made to the Active Directory user account are updated in the vault server user account automatically.

Note: Windows Authentication is available Autodesk Vault Professional.
