You can update previously created local users to be connected to a user directory. This is useful if some users were already created locally on your platform during onboarding and you later set up user provisioning for your wider user base.

1. Set up and activate a user directory. This will be the user directory to which you connect the local users.
2. In Administration > User management, find and edit the local user you want to connect
3. In Advanced > Remote user directory, choose the user directory you've set up
4. In Remote user ID, enter the ID that the user has in your user directory. You should use the value from the same field specified in the user directory setup under User unique ID. The value you define as the referenced user ID connects the user to the respective user account in the user directory. If the values differ in Haiilo and the user directory, the user is considered orphaned.
5. Select Save to apply changes.
6. Repeat the process for any other users you need to connect.

Upon the next successful user directory synchronization, the user accounts will be linked, and the user will be managed by the user directory moving forward.
