Assigning Active Directory groups directly to an Active Directory contact

Groups can be assigned directly or indirectly to a contact. Indirect assignment is done by allocating the employee and groups into company structures such as departments, cost centers, locations, or business roles.

  2. Select the contact in the result list.
  3. Select the Assign groups task.
