How to synchronize users in Gitlab CE with AD without logging into Gitlab itself?

Question

linux

Good time.
There is such a moment in the work of Gitlab CE with users in AD. Gitlab CE does not add a user if they are not logged in. Those. I can't assign the rights to the repository to a user created in AD until he is logged into Gitlab. Is there an option to sync users on the fly?

One option is to write a script that takes users from AD and creates them in gitlab
