## Pages
- [Interactive Search Parameters](https://docs.virtosoftware.com/docs/virto-active-directory-user-profile-sync-web-part/active-directory-service-adjustment/ad-user-service-settings/interactive-search-parameters/index.md) — Cap how many users the interactive search returns, so a large directory does not flood the web part.

- [Type of Connection](https://docs.virtosoftware.com/docs/virto-active-directory-user-profile-sync-web-part/active-directory-service-adjustment/ad-user-service-settings/type-of-connection/index.md) — Choose how the web part connects to Active Directory: the default credentials or ones you specify.
- [Which Profiles Can Be Updated](https://docs.virtosoftware.com/docs/virto-active-directory-user-profile-sync-web-part/active-directory-service-adjustment/ad-user-service-settings/which-profiles-updated/index.md) — Restrict editing to the profiles of one AD group by giving the path to that group in the settings.
- [Who Updates Profiles](https://docs.virtosoftware.com/docs/virto-active-directory-user-profile-sync-web-part/active-directory-service-adjustment/ad-user-service-settings/who-updates-profiles/index.md) — Choose which SharePoint groups are allowed to update Active Directory user profiles.
