Hi ,

If you update group info in ldap setting it will automatically sync user with that user group.
If not in liferay then it will create and assign user to that.

Thanks!

thanks Nikihil for your response, but what I am asking is I have 10 groups and each group of 10k users, out of 10 groups, I want to load/sych particular groups (lets say 4 groups , I don't want to sync/load remaining 6 groups and their users into Liferay) into liferay from LDAP including with users of those groups.

I did not try it, but can't you just set the import method to Group (default is User) and then specify a groupfilter?

You need to enter a filter in the Groups Import Search Filter
Probably something like this is the default: (objectClass=groupOfUniqueNames)
Now you need to enter a filter, that specifies only the groups you need (alternatively you can specify the groups you want to exclude. You can negate the filter with the exclamation mark symbol). Just search for ldap filter examples.
Something like this should work:
&(objectClass=groupOfUniqueNames)(|(cn=GROUPNAME1)(cn=GROUPNAME2)(cn=GROUPNAME3))
In Java this would be the same as
if (objectclass.equals("groupOfUniqueNames") && (cn.equals(GROUPNAME1) || cn.equals(GROUPNAME2) || cn.equals(GROUPNAME3) ))
