When SDMS integration is enabled ( KB000032786) and the Authentication is configured as "Windows", the user's windows credentials will be used/shown as the login user for versioning and other SDMS features. The following steps show how to import a windows user to SDMS.

Prerequisite:
1. SDMS administration Tool
2. SDMS System Administrator privilege is required to perform the importing.
