Add a synchronization schedule

You can add a synchronization schedule to automatically synchronize 
BlackBerry UEM
 with your organization's company directory. There are three types of synchronization schedules:
  • Interval: You specify the length of time between each synchronization, the time frame, and the days on which it will occur.
  • Once a day: You specify the time of day that the synchronization starts and the days on which it will occur.
  • No recurrence: You specify the time and day for a one time synchronization.
On the Company directory screen, you can manually synchronize 
BlackBerry UEM
 with company directory at any time.

    Settings > External integration > Company directory

  2. Click the company directory name you want to edit.

Users that are not onboarded or offboarded but change directory linked groups are not synchronized.  
    • Directory linked groups
      : If you choose this option users will not be onboarded and offboarded during the synchronization. Users with changes to their directory linked groups will be linked appropriately. Users with changes to their attributes will be synchronized.
