Overview
User Synchronization allows organizations to import users into Fixiam from external identity sources instead of creating users manually one at a time.
This helps organizations simplify user onboarding and maintain more consistent identity records across systems.
Fixiam supports synchronization from multiple sources including:
- Microsoft Active Directory (LDAP)
- Microsoft Entra ID
- Google Workspace
- CSV Import
- HRMS Platforms
Depending on the synchronization source, organizations may be able to import users, synchronize user updates, and manage identity lifecycle activities more efficiently.
Why Use User Synchronization
User Synchronization helps organizations:
- Reduce manual user creation
- Simplify employee onboarding
- Maintain centralized user records
- Improve identity consistency
- Reduce administrative effort
- Support large-scale user management
Instead of repeatedly creating and updating users manually, administrators can synchronize user information directly from existing organizational systems.
How User Synchronization Works
The synchronization process generally follows these steps:
- Select a synchronization source
- Configure synchronization settings
- Connect the source system to Fixiam
- Import or synchronize users into Fixiam
- Monitor synchronization activities where supported
Synchronization behavior and supported capabilities may vary depending on the selected synchronization source.
Supported Synchronization Sources
Fixiam currently supports the following synchronization sources:
Microsoft Active Directory (LDAP)

Best Practices
To achieve reliable synchronization results:
- Validate synchronization settings before large imports
- Review synchronized user information carefully
- Use consistent user identifiers across systems
- Test synchronization with smaller user groups before full rollout
- Monitor synchronization activities regularly
