Active Directory is Microsoft service and it's a directory service that uses the LDAP protocol. Many organizations are using it for the ease of use and for the ease of integration with other Microsoft products. Note: OutSystems already allows AD login out of the box, but you can use this component to create your own custom login if necessary.

Sync users from AD into OutSystems groups. This application includes a custom integration to bind an AD Group to an OutSystems group. There is a timer running a synchronization process to keep things up to date. In the end, the timer will create users in OutSystems if they do not exist and binds them to the right Group SID value.

A different way, easier and quick to manipulate the outsystems roles in runtime.
