Directory sync

Connect your organization’s directory once, and Mango Inventory maintains the user list by itself: whoever is in the chosen groups joins. Whoever leaves them is deactivated. Your user list always matches your directory.

Setup takes 10 to 15 minutes.

  • Premium plan — directory sync is included. Details on the pricing page.
  • Owner role in Mango Inventory — you find the setup under Settings → Single sign-on.
  • Administrator rights in the directory — with Microsoft for a one-time consent, with Google for the sign-in.

Mango reconciles the chosen groups every night, or right away with “Sync now”.

  • New members join automatically — in the role you set (default: Member). They sign in with “Continue with Microsoft” or “Continue with Google”: no invitation, no new password.
  • Names and profile pictures stay up to date.
  • Whoever leaves the groups is deactivated — no more access; who had and reported what stays in the history. If the person comes back, their access is back too.
  • You can still invite people — for external people or the temporary helper with a private address, see Users & roles.

“Preview changes” shows beforehand who will join, be updated or be deactivated. Nothing changes until you click “Sync now”.

Nothing — and that’s the point. Everyone opens app.mangoinventory.com, signs in with Microsoft or Google and is right inside your organization, in the right role.
