## Add LDAP Users Manually for Immediate Sharing
In a default Nextcloud + LDAP setup, user accounts are only created in the internal Nextcloud database **after their first login**. This means that even if a user exists in LDAP, they **cannot receive shared files or folders** until they have logged in at least once—or are manually synchronized.
To make LDAP users available for sharing **without requiring initial login**, follow these steps:
### 1. Search for the User in LDAP
Check if the user exists in the configured LDAP directory:
```bash
docker exec -u www-data nextcloud-application php occ ldap:search <username>
```
If the user is found, proceed to the next step.
### 2. Create the User in Nextcloud from LDAP
Manually trigger a sync to register the user in the Nextcloud database:
```bash
docker exec -u www-data nextcloud-application php occ ldap:check-user --update <username>
```
**Example:**
```bash
docker exec -u www-data nextcloud-application php occ ldap:check-user --update viktoriakaffanke
```
Once executed, the user becomes fully available in the system—for sharing, group membership, and permissions—even without logging in.
### 3. Synchronize All Known Users (Optional)
To synchronize account data (display name, mail address, group memberships, etc.) for **all users** currently known to Nextcloud:
```bash
docker exec -u www-data nextcloud-application php occ user:sync-account-data
```
This step is especially useful after modifying LDAP attributes or group memberships, ensuring up-to-date data in the Nextcloud UI and permission system.
