Assigning Active Directory contacts directly to Active Directory groups
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.
