This guide is intended for KMS administrators.
Activating the Kaltura Ssogroupsync Feature in Kaltura MediaSpace (KMS)
Kaltura Ssogroupsync is managed by KMS system administrators in the Admin area accessed from <Base_URL>/admin (e.g. https://videos.mediaspace.kaltura.com/admin)
Recommendation: When expecting a large amount of groups per user (in the hundreds), the first login for a user will be longer due to the synchronization of large amount of groups. In order to make a faster first login time we recommend a pre-launch groups creation using the a-sync group creation. See the How to Create and Manage Groups Using a CSV File guide for information.
