   title 'Propagate Membership Removals from Directory Server' Option
   If the option is selected, the directory server membership removals will also apply to CAE LearningSpace Enterprise as well: if a synchronized user is removed from the directory server group, then the user will also be removed from the CAE LearningSpace Enterprise group upon the next synchronization. Info Users will only be withdrawn from their group membership but will not be deleted: the removed users will be still registered in your CAE LearningSpace Enterprise system. Image Modified

   
   

8. Click Sync Now to perform a manual synchronization.

   CAE LearningSpace Enterprise automatically synchronizes imported user groups during regular nighttime system maintenance.
