Corporate directory management with AskCody and Active Directory
AskCody + Active Directory Server integration
To get the most out of AskCody’s features, you’ll need to populate the employee directory. AskCody supports employee import from Microsoft Active Directory. Using a simple forwarding service from AskCody, you can synchronize your corporate directory with AskCody, and allows you to manage users in a simple, scalable way, leveraging the user groups, security groups, or organizational units you already have in place.
AskCody supports a comprehensive, granular, role-based provisioning of user rights, which is easy to use in Active Directory.
Setting up the AskCody + Active Directory integration means you can easily deploy AskCody across your entire organization, no matter the number of employees or offices. And since all updates to your Active Directory setup are forwarded to AskCody, you’ll automatically onboard and offboard employees as your team grows and changes, since changes are reflected immediately.
