This version of the User Management Tool (UMT) is designed specifically for customers utilizing the Policy Based Administration feature and differs from typical UMT setup instructions. For customers utilizing the UMT without the policy administration feature, see the current version of UMT documentation.

About User Management Tool

The User Management Tool enables you to provision employee user accounts and distribution groups from Active Directory (AD).

The User Management Tool enables you to match ShareFile accounts to AD based on email address. It provisions and updates user information in ShareFile. In addition to distribution group membership, the tool allows you to specify policies a user is a part of, and to create multiple, named synchronization jobs that you can run repeatedly.
