  • Get specific user properties
  • List first-level organizational units in your domain
  • List all users in my domain with their display name and city
  • Find all users in my domain that has City attribute starts with ‘ny’

• Updating user properties
  • Set description for a specific user account:
  • Set city to Liverpool for all user accounts in the Demo OU

• User creation
  • Create user accounts

• Group operations
  • Create a new group
  • Add all users with a specific description to a group
  • List group members, display names and descriptions

• Bulk creation
  • Export useraccounts to a CSV file
  • Import useraccounts from a CSV file
  • Import useraccounts from CSV file and add them to a specific group

• Statistics:
  • Count users, groups, OUs
  • Count departments
  • Get statistics for departments, locations, etc.
