About This Feature

Overview

Self-Built Account System Directory Sync is an enterprise directory sync capability in the WPS 365 admin console. It is used to sync departments, members, and mapped fields from an in-house account system to the WPS 365 directory through open APIs.

Core capabilities include:

Configure the in-house system sync connection by entering the Group URL, User URL, token fields, and root department fields, then testing and saving the connection.
Manage sync targets and scope by choosing WPS 365 organizational structure or WPS Mail public contacts, then reviewing authorization scope, sync scope, and field mapping.
Run automatic or on-demand sync after the connection test passes and the sync task is created.

This feature is suitable for administrators who need to keep an existing account system aligned with the enterprise directory, such as organizational structure maintenance, public contact management, and cross-system member data sync.

WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS provides a dedicated in-house account system sync entry in the WPS 365 admin console, with sync target selection, field configuration, connection testing, and automatic sync settings in one admin workflow.	Compared with WPS: the official page is more API-oriented and does not focus on a visual admin workflow for directory sync setup.	Compared with WPS: the workflow is centered on LDAP-to-Google directory synchronization and shared contacts within the Google directory model.	Compared with WPS: it is more focused on workspace profile management, and automatic external attribute import depends on Enterprise Plan and SCIM setup.	Compared with WPS: it is mainly designed for Adobe Admin Console user and group synchronization rather than a directory sync page centered on enterprise contacts.

Overall Conclusion
If your organization already maintains its own account system and wants to manage organizational structure and contacts in WPS 365 from one admin console, WPS offers a more centralized setup flow for this scenario. Other products also provide directory or contact sync capabilities, but their official workflows focus more on APIs, directory ecosystems, or user management platforms.
