User Roles - NERM

Hi All,
I am trying to understand where do the Directory groups come from. The document says it comes from Identity Provider. But what do we do in case we do not have an identity provider. Also, how does it work when we import profiles using .csv. Is it possible to assign roles to lifecycle users.

Directory groups originate from the identity provider (e.g., ISC, Entra, or Okta) and are mapped to group attributes in the SSO configuration.

Roles cannot be mapped during the import phase. You can assign them separately via the REST API, or allow them to be assigned automatically at login based on the groups passed from the IdP.

Roles can be assigned through the REST API, there is no direct UI functionality for role assignment.
