How does Syncing work

If you have allowed the 'Sync User to Adobe' and 'Sync Groups to Adobe': Then by selecting OU or Groups under OU Sync Selection and Group Sync Selection respectively, you can select which OUs and Groups get synced.

  • OU syncing: By selecting the OU from Cloudwork's in the Adobe Sync from Cloudwork, users from those OUs will be synced to Adobe.
  • Group Syncing: By selecting groups from Cloudwork's in Adobe sync from Cloudwork, users who are already synced to Adobe will be put into User directories in Adobe. Users who are in the groups but not synced to Adobe will not be synced to Adobe.
