With Authorization Manager, you can include users or groups from any source that can be defined or referenced by the Authorization Manager application programming interface (API). In order to include users and groups from external sources, you must write or acquire a custom object picker. A custom object picker is a software component that can be installed on your system to allow an Authorization Manager administrator to access data stored in an external application.
For more information, see Authorization Manager Model (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=64027).
The permissions required to perform this task will vary for each custom object picker.
