The Discovered Users folderWhen you first configure the system and your extensions start to populate the Directory, a default folder, called Discovered Users is created automatically in the system. Its function is to pick up and store the newly discovered extensions and if renamed or deleted, it will be recreated in the Directory, as soon as a new extension is being picked up.
When you have created your own user groups in the Directory, you can move extensions from the Discovered Users folder to the newly created ones. For information on how to move users from one group to another, check the Moving a user between two groups section

A special user group,

Over time, when all possible users have been collected by the Discovered Users folder, you can create your own user groups based on the structure of your organisation, and move users into these new groups.
