Enable directory-linked groups

You can link groups in BlackBerry UEM to groups in your company directory to organize users in UEM the same way that they are organized in the directory, and to simplify the assignment and management of IT policies, profiles, and apps for users. For more information, see Creating and managing user groups in the Administration content.
  1. In the management console, on the menu bar, click Settings > External integration > Company directory.
  2. Click a company directory connection.
  3. On the Sync settings tab, select the Enable directory-linked groups check box.
  4. If you want to force the synchronization of company directory groups, select the Force synchronization check box.
    If enabled, when a group is removed from the company directory, the links to that group are removed from directory-linked groups and onboarding directory groups. If all of the company directory groups associated with a directory-linked group are removed, the directory-linked group is converted to a local group.
  5. In the Sync limit - percent of users to be off-boarded or removed field, specify the maximum percentage of users in a group that can be removed or offboarded in a synchronization activity. If this maximum is exceeded, UEM does not carry out any removal or offboarding actions on the group during a synchronization. For example, if you specify the limit as 80%, if 81% or more of the users in a group would be removed or offboarded in a synchronization activity, UEM will not remove or offboard any users from that group. By default, the limit is 100%, which means that UEM will not carry out removal or offboarding actions on a group if all of the users that belong to that group are impacted.
  6. In the Sync limit - minimum group size threshold field, specify the minimum number of users that a directory group must contain before UEM will apply the maximum limit that you specified in Sync limit - percent of users to be off-boarded or removed. The maximum sync limit percentage does not apply to groups with fewer users than the minimum group size that you specify. The default minimum threshold is 10 (a group must contain at least 10 users for UEM to factor in the maximum sync limit percentage; the maximum synch limit does not apply to groups of 9 or less users). Type 0 if you want UEM to apply the maximum sync limit to all groups regardless of group size.
  7. In the Maximum nesting level of directory groups field, type the number of nested levels to synchronize for company directory groups.
  8. Click Save.
