How do I limit permitted users to certain security group(s) in Active Directory?

Question

I feel like I am missing something here...

I have read through all the documentation more than once. I have configured and tested LDAP connectors to my domain. But for the life of me I can't figure out: How do I limit which Active Directory users can log into Confluence and which cannot? It seems I can only limit the users via a OU, not a security group.

There are 1000s of users on the network but I only have 100 licenses, so how do I keep the wrong people from sigining in and gobling up my license seats?

Hello Neil, you can accomplish that a predefined group of users is the only one to sync with Confluence, or set rules for which will be read into the application and repercute into the license count. A good start is following the steps in this documentation and craft a filter that fits your needs.

Hope this helps.
