Preserve AD Structure when syncing to authentik

^{Originally posted by **blackphantom39** July 4, 2023}
Hello,

I am trying to find a way to preserve user paths when using an AD via a LDAP Source. I successfully got users to sync from AD to authentik. That part is working fine.
But all users are placed into a single folder on the authentik side. I have seen that there is a `User Path` option within the LDAP Source settings. However, I cannot figure out how to modify this for what I am trying to achieve.

Is there a way to preserve the following example AD structure when syncing to authentik?

```
AD/
├─ Department A (OU)
│ ├─ User 01
│ └─ ...
├─ Department B (OU)
│ ├─ User 01
│ └─ ...
└─ Department C (OU)
├─ User 01
└─ ...

```
