The information on this page refers to License Statistics v6.0 14 and newer, which introduced a new user interface (UI)replaced Import/No_Import flags with proper filters. If you are using a version previous to v6.014, see documentation for previous versions. |
License Statistics lets you import user groups you have defined in an LDAP directory. Importing your user groups from LDAP eliminates the need to create user groups manually, which can be time consuming if you have a large number of users.
Importing your LDAP user groups also gives you one centralized place to manage your groups. License Statistics refreshes the user group data every 6 hours, so changes to user groups made in Active Directory, such as newly added or removed users, will be reflected automatically in License Statistics. In addition, for users imported from LDAP, hovering over usernames in License Statistics grids (such as inUser Users - History - Usage and Features - Realtime - Usage pages) shows user details, giving you more information about the users included in your usage statistics.

Although retained for compatibility purposes, the License_Statistics=No_Import and License_Statistics=Import flags described below are no longer needed for License Statistics v6.0 and newer. As of License Statistics v6.0, you can specify any valid LDAP filter using the Enable LDAP Users Import option in the Administration: LDAP Configuration page, which is a much easier method for choosing which groups and users to import. |
