Department

The Department screen is the underlying catalog of (Group, Department) pairs that feed every other LDAP screen. One line per pair. This is where the drop-down values shown in LDAP → Settings and Users by applications come from.

It is intentionally simple — just the two text columns. The link to applications is held on the LDAP → Settings page (see Security → LDAP → Settings for details).

Goal of the view​

  • Master catalog of (Group, Department) pairs. Used as the source of drop-down values in the LDAP screens.
  • Keep the pairs aligned with the AD department attribute so the Users by applications matrix matches correctly.

Tips & best practices​

  • Edit this list before adding rows on Security → LDAP → Settings — the Settings page draws its values from here.
  • Validate the spelling against AD — a mistyped department disappears from the LDAP join silently.
  • Remove pairs that are no longer in use to keep the dropdowns short.
