Syncing from a User Federation

  • Be sure to follow the steps for creating a company and activating its license prior to following the steps in this section. If your license hasn't been activated prior to syncing, all users will come into the system in Inactive status.

  • If you also need to sync users in Aerobase, such as when installing with Single Sign On, then you need to first add the federation in Aerobase, then add the federation here in the Admin tool, then sync your users in Aeorbase, and then sync your users here.

Syncing users from a federation is a 2-stage process:

  1. Connect a federation with a company

  2. Sync users to Nintex Admin Tool
