Mailbox Type

Select which button for mailbox type must be selected by default on the New User creation wizard:

1. No mailbox
2. Exchange on-premises
3. Exchange remote or Office 365

For more information about mailbox types please see Hybrid users and remote mailboxes – Cayosoft Help Center.

Hybrid License Options

Office 365 License options

A hybrid user account is an Active Directory account that also has a corresponding Microsoft 365 account. 

Specify the way how the Office 365 licenses will be assigned to a user if a matching Office 365 account is going to be created:

1. User selects license during creation - the Office 365 licenses are selected in Cayosoft Web Portal during user creation
2. Use automated license rule - if you use this option, you should configure New User | Office 365 User Enforce License rule. After that, when a new Office 365 user is created in Web Portal, License Options control won't be displayed on the New User form and the Office 365 license options, specified in the automated rule,  will be assigned to this user by this rule after creation.
3. Do not assign licenses during creation - new users will be created without Office 365 licenses. For example, you should use this value in conjunction with the Mailbox Type set to No mailbox if you plan to assign licenses to users with Azure AD group-based licensing.

Other Attributes

Other Attribute 1 - Other Attribute 20

If you use Active Directory extension attributes to store additional information for user accounts, you could select these attributes and map them to Other Attributes. For details please see this KB article.

To set labels or default values for these attributes, please use Attribute Policies.

Virtual Attributes

Virtual Attribute 1 - Virtual Attribute 25

Virtual Attributes allow extending the attribute list for users in Active Directory without extending the Active Directory schema.

Select the virtual attributes from the list and map them to Virtual Attribute 1 - Virtual Attribute 25. 

For more details, please see Configuring Virtual Attributes article.

DynamicAttribute Mapping

Data Source

Separator used in file

Column name > Attribute Mapping (optional)

If the user's properties depend on its organizational unit, then when creating a new user in Web Interface, it would be convenient to populate the default attribute values such as Department, Office, etc depending on the user's organizational unit. Dynamic Attribute Mapping solves this problem.

For configuration, please see Dynamic attribute mapping in the Web Interface article.

Custom Generation Tokens

Custom generation tokens allow using the values of the attributes of the user who is running the action (initiator) in the Attribute Policies that are applied to the creation of Active Directory and Office 365 objects.  Custom generation tokens should be set in the corresponding Web Action configuration form.

Example: 

{@{'InitiatorDepartment'=GetInitiatorProperty('department')}}

After that InitiatorDepartment token can be used in Attribute Policy that is applied to this Web Action.

For details see this KB article: https://cayosoft.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043017952
