On the t3 instance, when you are adding user there are two options, Native Users and LDAP user?
Yes, when adding a new user in AutomationEdge, the User Type dropdown field allows you to select Native Users or LDAP Users (as well as SSO Users if Single Sign-On is configured).
Here is how Native Users and LDAP Users differ:
1. Native Users
- Default Option: Native Users is the default user type in AutomationEdge.
- Storage & Authentication: User details and credentials are stored directly within the AutomationEdge database (AE-DB), and authentication is performed locally by AutomationEdge.
- Fields Required: When creating a Native user, you must manually specify details such as the First Name, Last Name, Email ID, Username, Password, and assigned Role.
2. LDAP Users
- Prerequisite: The LDAP Users option appears and can be selected only after an administrator has successfully set up the LDAP connection under Settings → LDAP.
- Storage & Authentication: User details are maintained on your organization’s external LDAP server, and user authentication is handled by LDAP rather than AutomationEdge.
- Fields Required: When adding an LDAP user in AutomationEdge, you only need to enter the Username and assign a Role; the remaining user profile details are fetched automatically from LDAP during their first sign-in
