CardioLog Analytics provides the ability to segment authenticated visitors by their user names, and the groups they belong to. The organizational hierarchy of users and groups is monitored by the Users and Group Updates service. Data is retrieved directly from Active Directory or SharePoint by default. The Active Directory Updates service can also retrieve the data from a custom source, using a designated web service that supplies the user and group organizational structure. To include any profile details with your user data, see User Category Management.
