Directory Sync

What is Directory Sync?

Directory Sync is a process that synchronizes user and group information between an on-premises Active Directory and cloud-based applications such as Loom. This synchronization ensures that user information is consistent across all systems, reducing the need for manual updates and improving overall system efficiency. Directory Sync is a critical component of any cloud-based application deployment, as it enables organizations to manage user access and permissions in a centralized location.

How Does Directory Sync Work in Loom?

In Loom, Directory Sync is achieved through the use of Azure Active Directory Connect, a tool that synchronizes user and group information between on-premises Active Directory and Azure Active Directory. This synchronization enables Loom to access user information from the on-premises Active Directory, ensuring that user access and permissions are consistent across all systems. Additionally, Directory Sync enables Loom to leverage existing user accounts and groups, reducing the need for manual updates and improving overall system efficiency.

Why is Directory Sync Important in Loom?

Directory Sync is a critical component of any cloud-based application deployment, and is particularly important in Loom. By synchronizing user and group information between on-premises Active Directory and Loom, Directory Sync ensures that user access and permissions are consistent across all systems. This consistency reduces the risk of errors and improves overall system efficiency. Additionally, Directory Sync enables Loom to leverage existing user accounts and groups, reducing the need for manual updates and improving overall system efficiency. Overall, Directory Sync is a key component of Loom’s ability to provide a seamless and efficient user experience.
