# LDAP / Active Directory Integration

## **OVERVIEW**

**LDAP / AD integration** allows users to log in to Oobeya with their LDAP / AD credentials. 

When a user logs in to Oobeya via LDAP connection, the account of the user is created on Oobeya with the **least privilege**. Then you need to define the required permissions for the users.

You can also **import users from LDAP / AD**. [*See the documentation*](/administration/user-management-single-sign-on-auth-settings/importing-a-new-user-from-ldap-ad.md) for detailed information.

You can deactivate user accounts that you do not want to log in to the Oobeya. Click [here ](/administration/user-management-single-sign-on-auth-settings/deactivating-a-user.md)to learn how to deactivate a user account.
