Importing validated user profiles from a directory allows you to add users who already have usernames, email addresses, and presenter information associated with their accounts. Permissions assigned to these validated profiles take effect without any interaction from the user, that is, users will not receive an email asking them to validate their profile. Any profiles that run into conflicts (username or email address already appear on existing user profiles) are skipped during import.
To import validated user profiles:
1. Click Security > Profiles > Import From Directory and select the directory you want from the Directory drop-down list.
