While user progiles are automatically generated with a user first logs in, the Directory groups need to be imported as roles within Mediasite. The Mediasite role then point to the AD or LDAP group for the list of users. When a user then logs in to Mediasite with their AD or LDAP credentials, Mediasite communicates with the directory to obtain what roles or groups a user is in. By checking the directory groups on every log in, there is no need to import the list of users within a group so the user will always have the correct access when changing departments or leaving the organization.

Mediasite roles are set to point to a directory group an need to be manually added in the Management portal.
