Which Mimecast Application/Service can populate Directory Groups in the Mimecast Administration Console?

The Directory Connector is the service that facilitates the population of Directory Groups within the Mimecast Administration Console. This application acts as a bridge between your organization’s on-premises directory and Mimecast, enabling the synchronization of user and group information. By using the Directory Connector, administrators can ensure that groups in Mimecast reflect the current structure and membership defined in their internal directory.

This capability is essential for maintaining accurate and up-to-date email security settings, permissions, and policies, as it allows for easier management of users and their respective access to Mimecast services. Automatic synchronization minimizes manual entry and helps prevent inconsistencies that may arise from outdated group information. Thus, the Directory Connector is pivotal for organizations that utilize directory services like Active Directory to manage their user base effectively within Mimecast.
