Sync Users and Groups from 黑料海角91入口 to Microsoft 365 / Entra ID

Simplify user and access management, gain efficiencies, improve security through automation.  This integration allows you to, in real-time, provision new user accounts, continuously synchronize specified user attributes, takeover user management of existing users, and manage security groups in Microsoft 365/Entra ID (M365/Entra ID) from 黑料海角91入口. In addition, optionally import users from M365/Entra ID into 黑料海角91入口. 

Prerequisites 

Considerations

  • Don't authorize the same M365/Entra ID domain in multiple M365/Entra ID directory sync instances. If you do, users that are bound to multiple directory instances with the same domain could be suspended if you unbind them from one of the instances. You can avoid this by deactivating sync for all but one M365/Entra ID directory sync instances for a single domains. Be aware that after you deactivate sync for an M365/Entra ID directory sync instance, that sync integration is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered
  • When deactivating the M365/Entra ID Cloud Directory Sync integration, the following is permanently deleted for the M365 directory, and will not be recovered by reactivating sync:
    • name
    • configuration
    • connections to users, groups, and resources
  • M365/Entra ID group management is only supported for security groups at this time

Importing M365/Entra ID Users into 黑料海角91入口

After you authorize sync, you can import users from M365/Entra ID into 黑料海角91入口. A modal opens with a list of existing active Microsoft user accounts. If you are not ready to import users, close the modal or click cancel.

Note:

For new accounts, keep in mind that you can import unlimited users for free during the 30-day trial; however, once you pass the 30-day trial, all users become billable. Similarly, accounts managed by an MSP, that have a license limit, are only allowed to import users up to their license limit  and will be prompted to contact their provider once that limit is reached.

To import users from M365 into 黑料海角91入口

  1. Log in to the .
  2. Go to DIRECTORY INTEGRATIONS > Cloud Directories.
  3. Select the integration you authorized in Authorize M365 Sync. 
  4. From the Details tab, confirm your attribute mapping and settings to ensure you are importing and exporting the proper attributes. See Sync User Attributes with Microsoft 365 to learn more.

Note:

Users are created with only the attributes you want 黑料海角91入口 to control which are those with import selected in the 黑料海角91入口 to export? column.

  1. Click import users.
  2. On the Import Users from Microsoft 365 screen, select one or more users to import. If you want to wait until later to import users, click cancel.
  3. Click import.

Note:

When accounts are imported into 黑料海角91入口, the Username field is populated with the Alias attribute of the account in Microsoft. If an Alias isn鈥檛 available, the Username is populated with the username portion of the email address, everything before the @domain.com.

  1. Review the information in the results modal.

Note:

The results modal will show the import results if 100 or fewer users were imported. Users who were successfully imported have a green check mark. Users who weren鈥檛 imported have a red exclamation mark, and the IMPORT MESSAGE explains why a user wasn鈥檛 imported. If more than 100 user are imported, the import job id will be shown, and the results can be downloaded by clicking the link in the User Import Complete email.

  1. Click the go to users page button or close the modal.

Note:

If you close this modal, you return to the M365 Directory Details panel.

  1. Receive a User Import Complete email with a summary of the import results and a link for downloading a copy of the import results.鈥�

The default user state for imported users will be either active or staged, depending on the value set within Settings > User Management > Default User State for User Creation > Application/Directory Integrations. The user state of a user can be seen on the Users page. Imported users must have an active user state and a password set by either you or them before they will have access to their assigned resources. They will continue to have access to M365/Entra ID using their M365 password until the activation process is complete for their 黑料海角91入口 account, and they are given access to M365/Entra ID from 黑料海角91入口. 

You can also import users from the Users list under User Management > Users, clicking ( + ), then selecting M365/Azure AD.

Syncing Users from 黑料海角91入口 to M365/Entra ID Directory Instance

Syncing Behavior for Users

User Principal Name

After you connect a user to an M365 directory, the value sent as the User Principal Name (UPN) is determined by the domains configuration setup in the integration:

  • If no domains are configured, the user鈥檚 mapped email (company or alternate) is not checked and sent as is.  The user syncs as long as their email domain matches one of the verified domains in the M365/Entra ID instance.
  • If one or more domains is configured and No default. Only users with matching domains sync is selected, the user鈥檚 mapped email default (company or alternate) is checked against the domains listed. Only users with matching email domains are synced.
  • If one or more domains is configured and one of the domains is selected to Use as default, the user鈥檚 mapped email default (company or alternate) is checked against the domains listed.
    • If the domain matches one of the domains in the list, the email address is sent as is.  
    • If the domain does not match one of the domains in the list, the email value sent as the UPN wll be the username portion of the source email address (Company or Alternate Email) and the default domain.

User provisioning, updating, and deprovisioning

  • User provisioning: When connecting a new user to M365, the integration will search for the user in the M365/Entra ID instance using the UPN.
    • If no match is found, the user will be created.
    • If an existing user is found with a matching UPN, 黑料海角91入口 will take over management of that user and update the user.  
    • Once the user logs in to 黑料海角91入口鈥檚 User Portal for the first time, the password will be synced to M365.
  • User updates: Once a user is created and managed by 黑料海角91入口, any time there is a change to any of the user attributes that are configured or there is a group change, the changes will replicate in the M365/Entra ID instance in real-time using the users M365/Entra ID assigned unique id rather their UPN.
  • User deprovisioning: A user will be deactivated in M365/Entra ID when any of the following actions are taken while the user is still connected to the M365/Entra ID integration either directly,  indirectly through a user group, or both.
    • A user is suspended.
    • A user is removed from all groups that connected them the integration and any direct connection is removed.
    • A user is deleted.
    • A user group that was the user鈥檚 only connection to the integration is disconnected from the integration.
    • A user鈥檚 password expires and the password configuration for the M365/Entra ID integration is set to suspend on password expiration.
    • A user gets locked out and the password configuration for the M365/Entra ID integration is set to suspend on account lockout.

Staged vs Active User Provisioning Flows 

Staged User Flow
  • User provisioning: When connecting a new Staged user to the M365/Entra ID integration in 黑料海角91入口, the user will be created in the M365/Entra ID instance and the account status will be set to disabled.  The user will be able to receive email and calendar events but won鈥檛 be able to log in.  Once the user receives their activation or welcome and logs in to the 黑料海角91入口 User Portal for the first time, the password will be synced to M365/Entra ID.
Active User Flows
  • User provisioning: When connecting a new Active user to the M365/Entra ID integration in 黑料海角91入口, the user will be created in the M365/Entra ID instance and the account status will be set to enabled.  The user will be able to log in and access all their M365 resources.  Once the user logs in to the 黑料海角91入口 User Portal for the first time, the password will be synced to M365/Entra ID.

Password Syncing

Passwords sync whenever a user does any of the following:

  • When an admin sets an initial password for the user
  • When and admin changes the password for the user
  • When a new user sets their 黑料海角91入口 password
  • When a user changes or resets their 黑料海角91入口 password
  • When a user logs in to the 黑料海角91入口 User Portal

Important:

Microsoft treats a password sync as a password change even if the password did not change.  This causes existing Microsoft sessions to expire, and the user must log in again.
