Directory Tags

Directory administrators can define rules that will dynamically add tags to directory accounts so that they can be easily identified and added to dynamic groups. Use the Administrative Tools | Settings | Asset Management | Directory Tags pane to create and manage dynamic tags for directory accounts.

In addition, Asset administrators can manually add tags to directory accounts on the General tab of the Accounts view. For more information, see Manually adding a tag to an account.

The Directory Tags pane provides a centralized view of all the tags defined for directory accounts. It displays the following details.

Use these toolbar buttons to manage directory tags.
