Mapping teams to LDAP groups (for instances using LDAP Sync for user authentication)

You can create a team with LDAP Sync enabled. See Creating a team.

A team that's synced to an LDAP group is indicated with a special LDAP badge. The member list for an LDAP synced team can only be managed from the LDAP group it's mapped to. See Using LDAP.

To add a new member to a team synced to an LDAP group, add the user as a member of the LDAP group, or contact your LDAP administrator.
