# User Management

## Directory synchronization

WorkflowGen supports multiple connectors to Active Directory and other LDAP user directories. If these connectors are not used or are not well populated, it may be necessary to consider using the WorkflowGen Text connector, which allows the import of user data from various sources of information such as HR systems.

Richer directory information gives WorkflowGen more ability to integrate organizational data seamlessly into processes:

* Automatically fill in some form fields by using macros (e.g. `Current User.Department`)
* Automatic to the manager assignment method
* Reuse groups in process participants
* [GETUSERSFROMDIR workflow application](https://docs.advantys.com/docs/admin/workflow-applications/getusersfromdir-workflow-application) to retrieve users

See the [Directory Synchronization](https://docs.advantys.com/docs/admin/directory-synchronization) section in the [WorkflowGen Administration Guide](https://docs.advantys.com/docs/admin) for information on how to configure directory synchronization.

You can also find FAQs on user provisioning and directory synchronization in the [Directory Management](https://discuss.workflowgen.com/c/administration/directory-management) section on the [WorkflowGen Forum & Knowledge Base](https://discuss.workflowgen.com).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.workflowgen.com/integration/8.7/user-management.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `build a script that syncs our docs to a CMS` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
