Designate a Directory

In Zilla, admins/super admins have the ability to designate any application as a directory, including custom applications. Multiple applications can be designated as a directory and they can be removed at any time. Application owners can view that an application is a directory and can perform a sync using any of the supported methods for the application. You must add the application instance via the Applications tab prior to designating the directory.

Overview

  1. Create an application instance via the Applications tab.

  2. Designate the application instance as a directory following the steps below.

  3. Sync the application:

    1. API or browser extension

    2. CSV upload

Steps to Designate a Directory

  1. Login to Zilla with your admin/super admin credentials.

  2. Click the gear icon in the top right corner to navigate to the Settings page.

  1. Click Add Application in the Designate Directory box. This opens a dialog box for you to select the application.

Note: Only applications that have not been synced yet will appear in this list. Applications which support a directory, such as Azure Active Directory, Google Workspace, Okta and OneLogin will always be available in the list, regardless of whether or not they have been synced.

  1. Select the application and click Designate.

  1. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 if you have additional directories that need to be added.

Only add additional directories if they are mutually exclusive (ie. there will be no overlap in accounts). If there is overlap, the data stored for that user profile in Zilla will reflect the most recently synced directory.

  1. The application now has a Directory badge displayed.
