LDAP Import - is it possible?

[Lyonel]

Hi @TrevorKillick,

Based on your experience of the LDAP import utility, is it possible to change it so that when a user changes department, the utility updates the profile accordingly? At the moment, it only adds the new department. This forces us to run a report on a regular basis to clean these profiles. With 4000+ users, you can imagine the amount of time I am going to spend on this

Any ideas are welcomed!

Thanks

Hi @Lyonel

Its a tricky one as we won't know the previous department from LDAP so how would the Import know the difference between a department that was previously set from an LDAP import or one that has been manually added. 

Removing any previously assigned departments is a possibility.

@TrevorKillick thanks for the reply. We would be very happy with simply removing any previously department set and any other organisation data for that matter, except teams. What would be my options?

@Lyonel

Ok we could add a flag to remove all existing departments before adding a new one if different, it would be a small overhead on the import process i will need to look at that first.

I will investigate the possibility of this early next week and get back to you.
