Log on to AD Manager Plus and click on the AD Management tab. Under the User Management section, click on User Creation Templates. Click on Create New Template. Enter the template name. Click on Enable Drag and Drop. To set an attribute field as mandatory, hover the mouse over the attribute field and click on the Edit option. Select the Mandatory option of the security field and click on Done. We have set the Employee ID attribute as mandatory. The asterisk symbol located next to the field name indicates that this particular attribute field is mandatory. Click on Save Template. Let us now attempt to create a user using the Sample 1 template. For this, click on the AD Management tab. Under the User Management section, click on Create Single User. Change the template to Sample 1 template and click on OK. Enter the details of the user. Leave the Employee ID field empty. Let's attempt to create the user by clicking on the Create option. As you can see, we cannot create the user until the Employee ID field has been filled.

TL;DR

  • Configure mandatory fields in ADManager Plus templates by editing attribute fields and selecting the 'Mandatory' option, indicated by an asterisk symbol next to the field name.
  • Mandatory field enforcement prevents user creation until all required attributes are populated, ensuring critical data like Employee ID is never omitted during account provisioning.
  • The drag-and-drop template editor allows administrators to customize user creation workflows and enforce data completeness policies across Active Directory user management operations.

Summary

This tutorial demonstrates how to configure mandatory fields in ADManager Plus user creation templates to ensure critical data is captured during account provisioning. The video walks through the process of creating a custom template, enabling the drag-and-drop interface, and designating specific attribute fields (such as Employee ID) as required. By marking fields as mandatory, administrators can enforce data completeness policies and prevent user accounts from being created without essential information. The demonstration shows the practical enforcement of this configuration, where attempting to create a user without filling the mandatory Employee ID field results in a validation error, ensuring compliance with organizational data standards.
