The Active Directory (AD) connector synchronises users, groups and Organisational Units from Microsoft Active Directory to HighQ. This is part of the
HighQ Appliance.
The AD Connector allows you to integrate with your current AD setup and manage user access via your domain rather than through HighQ. If you have a group of users that are all brand new to HighQ or the organisation, you can add those users directly in AD and use the sync to grant them access to your HighQ instance.
Also, if you have a group of users who are no longer part of your company you can set these users to 'archived' (within your AD) which restricts their access to HighQ.
When HighQ Appliance is first deployed, it is pre-configured as specified by your HighQ account manager; all purchased modules will be enabled and fully configured.
