Step 5: Review Synced Details
LightBeam will display synced users, roles, departments, employment status, current status with joining date, and groups.
Step 6: Error Handling
In case of synchronization errors, LightBeam identifies these issues and provides options for re-syncing. Various error scenarios are efficiently handled.

Navigate to the import section and upload the employee CSV file. The imported data will function like a typical Active Directory system.
Step 3: Import Groups Data
Upload a separate CSV for Groups and their respective members, ensuring proper mapping.
Step 4: Handle Updates
Similar to Active Directory, the system supports both truncate load and incremental updates based on email IDs.
Data Access Configurations
Configuration for Open Access
Define what constitutes open access at the governance level. By default, LightBeam considers any file accessible via a link as open access.
Configuration for Excessive Access
Customize the definition of excessive access. By default, any file accessed by more than half of the total number of users is considered to have excessive access.
