K2 Management Console - Active Directory Service2

The Active Directory Service2 provides new objects and methods to access information from Active Directory for easy access and use of information to help create business processes and workflows in K2 blackpearl.

The service provides read capabilities for Active Directory entities like Users, Groups and Organization Units. Commonly used to read user data from AD or to list group/OU membership.

These objects and methods are as follows:

AD Object	Methods	Required Parameter	Description
Active Directory User	GetUsers	None	This is a List Method which will return all users listed within Active Directory
Active Directory User	GetUserDetails	User Name	This is a Load Method which will return all the available detail regarding the provided user
Active Directory User	GetUsersByGroup	Group Name	This is a Load Method which will return all the users in the specified Group
Active Directory User	GetOrganizationalUnitUsers	Organizational Unit Name	This is a Load Method which will return all the users of the specified Organizational Unit
Active Directory User	GetUserPeers	User Name	This is a Load Method which will return all the peers of the specified user
Active Directory Group	GetGroups	None required, User Name optional	This is a List Method which will return all the available Groups within Active Directory. This method can also be used to list all the groups a specified user belongs to, if the user name is supplied

Follow the steps below to perform this:

	Create an Advanced SmartObject to map to the new Active Directory Service Objects
	Remove all the default methods
	Click Add in the SmartObject Method section
	Provide the method with a name in the Name text box
	Browse the Context Browser to add the desired Active Directory Object Method
	Select the required Object Method
	After the required method has been selected, the properties will need to be mapped in the Add Service Object Method screen
	When the new method has been added, the relevant properties and method will be available for future use within the SmartObject.
