# 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://advantys.gitbooks.io/workflowgen-administration-module-reference-guide/content/getusersfromdir-workflow-application.html) to retrieve users

See the [Directory synchronization](https://advantys.gitbooks.io/workflowgen-administration-module-reference-guide/content/directory-synchronization.html) section in the [WorkflowGen Administration Guide](https://advantys.gitbooks.io/workflowgen-administration-module-reference-guide/content/) 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).
