An administrator can create a Vault Server account with credentials unique to the Vault Server or import a Windows Active Directory account.
By using an Active Directory account, users can log into Autodesk data management clients using their Windows account credentials. Users and groups can then be managed using Windows permissions.
Domain user accounts and domain user groups can be imported to the Autodesk vault server. This allows for accounts to be created using Active Directory information and allows users to log into a data management client without requiring a new account.
You cannot manage Active Directory accounts through the server console. You can only import Active Directory accounts. To manage Active Directory user accounts and Active Directory group membership, you must use the User Accounts controls in the Windows Control Panel.
