Adding directory users or groups requires enabled Windows Authentication in your Orchestrator instance.
Note: Group configuration (roles, web login, robot settings) is passed-on to any directory user that belongs to that group, and is later on added or auto-provisioned.
1. From the Users page, click the Add button and select Add Directory User or Group. The Add Directory User or Group window is displayed.
2. Use the Domain name drop-down to select the Active Directory domain from where you want to add the user or group. All domains and subdomains from forests that are 2-way trusted with the domain specified in the WindowsAuth.Domain parameter are available when adding directory users/groups. Please note that it can take up to an hour to update the domain list with newly added two-way trusted domains.
3. In the Group or Username field, enter the the Active Directory group or user you want to add. To refine the search results and improve the search performance in case of large deployments, it is recommended to select the user type from the User Type drop-down.
4. From the Roles drop-down, select the role(s) for this group or user.
5. Use the Allow Web Login toggle to select if this user/group is able to log into Orchestrator. The toggle is only displayed for tenants that have the Modern Folders option enabled.
6. Click Add to finish the user provisioning or open the Robot Settings tab and follow the remaning steps below to configure robot creation for the user or group.

9. For Studio and StudioX licenses, select the Stand-alone license check box if the robots are licensed externally and not through Orchestrator.
10. Configure execution settings for your Robots in the Execution Settings section.
Note: Execution settings can only be configured when adding users individually. Groups are added with the default execution settings. These are described here. To customize execution settings for directory users, you have to make the adjustments explicitly for them, once they have been auto-provisioned or added individually.
11. Click Add. The user or user group is created and displayed in the Users page.
