Configure User Directory Integrations
To start provisioning users, groups, and endpoint devices into Cisco Secure Access, integrate a user directory with Secure access. A user directory represents an integration with an identity provider (IdP).
You can provision users and groups in Secure Access through a cloud identity provider (IdP), Active Directory (AD) integration, Google Workspace integration for Google Chromebook users, and a CSV file that includes the organization's users and groups information. You can provision endpoint devices through an Active Directory (AD) integration.
Note: You can add multiple user directory integrations for various cloud IdPs.
