You can batch import the users (including the user name, real name, and email) in the AD domain to the platform and assign roles to the domain users.

1. On the top, select > Basic Management > Account and Security.
2. Select Roles on the left.
3. Click Import Domain Users.
   Figure 1 Import Domain Users
4. Select an importing mode.

   User

   Import individual users. Select an organization unit and select one or more domain users in this organization unit.

   Group

   Select an organization unit to import all the domain users in this organization unit.

   Security Group

   Import all the domain users in the security group(s). Select an organization unit and select one or more security groups in this organization unit.

5. Select domain users from active directory.
6. Select the user status as Active or Inactive.
7. Optional: To limit the maximum IP addresses logged in to the platform using the user account, switch on Restrict Concurrent Logins and enter the maximum number of concurrent logins.
8. Set the permission level (1-100) for PTZ control in PTZ Control Permission.
   Note:

   The larger the value is, the higher permission level the user has. The user with higher permission level has the priority to control the PTZ unit.

   When two users control the PTZ unit at the same time, the user who has the higher PTZ control permission level takes control of the PTZ.

9. Select the roles that you want to assign to the domain users.
   Note:

   • If no role has been added, two default roles are selectable: administrator and operator.

     Administrator

     The role that has all permissions of the HikCentral Professional.

     Operator

     The role that has all permissions of the HikCentral Professional Control Client.

   • If you want to add new roles, you can click Add. See Add Role for details. Click a role on the list and then View Role Details to view the Basic Information and Permission Settings of the role.

10. Complete importing the domain users.

    • Click Add to import the domain users and return to the user management page.

    • Click Add and Continue to save the settings and continue to import other domain users.

11. Optional: After importing the domain user information to the platform, if the user information in domain is changed, click Synchronize Domain Users to get the latest information of the users imported to the platform. If the users are imported by group, it will synchronize the latest user information from the domain group (including added users, deleted users, edited users, etc., in the group).
