Overview
- Users can be Managed through Password Boss Portals, Azure, or Active Directory.
- Managed by PB means the user was created in the portal.
- Managed by Active Directory means the Active Directory Connector created the user.
- Managed by Azure AD means the Azure Connector created the user.
- The email address of a user cannot be changed. If an email address changes, the user account will need its data exported and imported into a new account.,
