Summary: Users that already exist in the system with a matching username or email address will be completely overwritten by the syncing process.
Important

This is usually a task for your IT Administrator

There is a limit of 1000 users per User Sync

You will have to update your LDAP query to exclude those users specifically or exclude an entire group, using the (!(query)) syntax. See an syntax example below.
