Active Directory Integration (ADI)¶
SMARTUNIFIER supports Windows Active Directory (AD). System administrators can use the Active Directory to add/remove users, groups, and resources quickly and efficiently through one dashboard.

AD Group Mapping¶
An user from AD must be added to a group that acts as a role. The role determines what permissions are assigned to the user.
The mapping between the AD groups and the SMARTUNIFIER roles is defined in the application.conf file from the conf folder.
![AD Mapping Configuration File](../_images/ADconfigurationFile.png)
As seen above (1) in the left side are the SMARTUNIFIER roles and in the right side, between the quotation marks are the AD groups.
- The SMARTUNIFIER roles are predefined:
Administrator - global permission
Writer - limited permision, write and read access
Reader - limited permision, read access
An user from an AD group will have permission based on the mapping of the AD group to a predefined SMARTUNIFIER role.
After all the above configuration is done, the user can login to the SMARTUNIFIER with the User logon name and the Password defined in AD.
