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
