How it works

When a user accesses the illuxiLMS portal, we receive, via their connection to your Azure Active Directory, the list of groups they belong to.

By default, we ensure that these groups exist on your illuxiLMS portal by prefixing them with the term "aad-" (for Azure Active Directory). We then add the user to these groups.

Example

The user john.smith@acme.com belongs to the following groups in your Active Directory:

Bureau-IT
Department 2
Bureau-Project Management

When this user attempts to access your illuxiLMS portal, they first authenticate through your Active Directory. They are then redirected to your illuxiLMS portal, and we receive the list of groups they belong to.

For each of these groups, we check if a corresponding group exists on illuxiLMS with the prefix "aad-". If the group does not exist, we create it.

We then ensure that the user is a member of each of these groups.

If the user is no longer part of a group they previously belonged to, we remove them from that group on your portal.

In the previous example, the user will be assigned to the following groups on illuxiLMS:

aad-Bureau-IT
aad-Department 2
aad-Bureau-Project Management

Synchronizing only specific groups

Organizations often have thousands of groups, and users may belong to hundreds of them. It may not be relevant for your illuxiLMS portal to synchronize all these groups.

illuxiLMS can be configured to synchronize only specific groups by searching for a particular term in the group name.

For example, suppose you want to synchronize ONLY groups that contain the term "Bureau-".

Simply communicate this information to your Customer Success Manager so we can add this rule to your portal configuration.

With this synchronization rule applied, using the previous example, the user would only be assigned to the following groups on your illuxiLMS portal:

aad-Bureau-IT
aad-Bureau-Project Management
