Provisioning Methods in Q.wiki

In Q.wiki, users and groups can be created in three different ways. The source determines how you can manage them.

Active Directory (AD) Import

Enterprise only

Users and groups are imported from your Active Directory at a defined path. Central management takes place in your AD – in Q.wiki you cannot modify, deactivate, or activate these users and groups.

Nested groups: Supported ✓

Azure AD Import

Users and groups are imported from your Azure AD. Central management takes place in your Azure environment – in Q.wiki you cannot modify, deactivate, or activate these users and groups.

Nested groups: Not supported

Local Q.wiki Users

Users and groups are created directly in your Q.wiki's user or group management. You can fully manage these users: invite them, deactivate, activate, reset passwords, and change email addresses.

Where Does a User Come From? How to Identify Them

For Azure AD and Active Directory

Go to Tools > User Management and open the user you want to check. Click the three-dot menu (⋯).

If this text is displayed, the user is imported from your Azure AD or AD. You cannot manage them in Q.wiki – contact your internal IT department.

For Local Q.wiki Users

Open the three-dot menu (⋯) for the same user.

If you see these options, the user is a local Q.wiki user. You can manage them directly in Q.wiki.
