Architecture
UPA connects to your live Active Directory environment and imports your GPOs and OUs where any changes are made in an offline, secure environment. The policies are stored in a Microsoft SQL database. UPA users are configured to edit, approve, review, and manage the policies from a web based console. Upon approval, the policies are exported back to Active Directory.
