Use this dialog box to search for and import users into P6 Professional from your LDAP repository. You can add users from the LDAP repository when your global profile has the privilege Provision Users From LDAP. The dialog box allows you to import multiple users at once. Periodically, you can check back to view any user accounts that were modified within the LDAP repository and update the Personal Name, User EMail Address, and Office Phone fields of the users to keep P6 Professional up to date.
