On the Identity tab, choose an identity provider from the list of available providers. When adding a user from an external identity provider such as Microsoft Active Directory, SPP imports read-only contact information from the source, however, you can change the user photo.

Use valid combinations of identity and authentication providers. For more information, see Identity and Authentication..

Table 77: User: Identity tab properties
Property Description
Identity Provider

The source of the user's identity. SPP comes with a built-in identity provider called Local that will allow you to manually enter user information that is stored directly in SPP. Or you can select an Active Directory or LDAP server that you have previously configured and then browse for a user. SPP will periodically synchronize with the directory to keep the information up to date.

Indicate how the user's identity is managed by SPP:

  • Local
  • Active Directory
  • LDAP
  • Starling
Browse

(Active Directory, Starling, or LDAP)

If the identity provider is Active Directory, Starling, or LDAP, click the Browse button to choose a username. The remaining fields are auto-populated.

Description

(Local provider)

Enter information about this user.

Limit: 255 characters.

Time Zone

Select the user's time zone.

Because Microsoft Active Directory does not have a Time Zone attribute, when you add a directory group, the default time zone is set for all imported accounts to (UTC) Coordinated Universal Time. To reset the time zone, open each imported account in Users and modify the Time Zone on this Location tab.
