Create Member Source

What you are doing

You are creating a Member Source, which is a source that informs Protegrity where user identities are stored. For example, Active Directory, LDAP, Azure AD or a text file. This configuration stores the connection and the lookup context that Protegrity needs to discover users and groups that are then mapped to Roles.

Why it matters

Policies do not grant access to individual users directly. Access is granted through roles, and roles are populated from external identity systems via member sources. Without a source, you cannot reliably attach real enterprise groups or users to roles, synchronize memberships, or enforce policy access the same way your organization manages identity.
