Groups can be assigned directly or indirectly to a contact. Indirect assignment is done by allocating the identity and groups into company structures such as departments, cost centers, locations, or business roles. If the identity has a contact in Active Directory, the groups in the role are inherited by this contact.
To react quickly to special requests, you can assign groups directly to contacts.

- 
In the Manager, select the Active Directory > Groups category.
 - 
Select the group in the result list.

Select the Assign contacts task.

In the Add assignments pane, assign the contacts.
TIP: In the Remove assignments pane, you can remove contact assignments.
