About This Feature

Overview

AD Sync is used to automatically synchronize enterprise Active Directory organizational structures and member information to the WPS 365 directory.

Core capabilities include:

Configure AD sync: create an AD connector in the admin console, enter connection details, and run a connection test.
Manage sync objects: choose whether to sync to the 365 organization structure or WPS Mail public contacts, and review push data status, authorization scope, sync scope, and field mapping.

This feature fits enterprise directory management scenarios where admins need to reduce manual maintenance and keep organizational data aligned.

Capability Summary	Supports synchronizing enterprise AD organizational structures and member data to the WPS 365 directory through an AD connector, with sync object management, field mapping, authorization scope, and automatic sync controls.	Microsoft 365 can synchronize on-premises AD DS users, groups, and contacts to a Microsoft Entra tenant, focusing on hybrid identity directory sync.	Google Workspace Directory Sync can synchronize users and groups from an external directory to the Google Cloud directory and is configured in the Google Admin console.	Notion provides SCIM-based user and group provisioning and management for Enterprise workspaces, including creating and removing members and groups.	Adobe User Sync tool can move user and group information from Active Directory or other LDAP systems to the Adobe Admin Console.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: Built for WPS 365 directory synchronization workflows. Distinct: Admins can review sync objects, field mapping, authorization scope, and push data status in one management flow.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft focuses on tenant identity synchronization rather than a WPS 365 directory workflow.	Compared with WPS: Google targets the Google Cloud directory and relies on Google cloud connectivity and Admin console setup.	Compared with WPS: Notion centers on SCIM provisioning for workspace identity management rather than a dedicated enterprise directory sync page.	Compared with WPS: Adobe relies more on command-line and Admin Console workflows for account and entitlement management.

Overall Conclusion
If your organization manages its directory inside WPS 365, AD Sync provides a more direct workflow for connector setup, sync object control, and status review. Other products also support directory synchronization or provisioning, but their target directories and admin models are different.
