Limitations

Using Active Directory with Interact roles

Interact has limited compatibility with Active Directory security groups. Some of the user‑related actions in the Interact Remote API do not support security groups, but do still support directly assigned users to Interact roles, including Active Directory users.

If you are using Active Directory and you want to use the Create Submission and Raise Submissions actions using the Interact Remote API, your users must be directly assigned to the Interact roles in Hub for the actions to function correctly. These actions do not support the use of Active Directory security groups. However, if you want to configure roles to use security groups, you can use the Raise Submission to Role action.

The following table summarizes the actions that rely on user information either in the inputs or outputs, and their compatibility with Active Directory:
