Azure User Import to Organisation Using AD Membership?

[AndyHill]

Our users in AD our made up of a variety of Company names. When importing the users via Azure is there a way to assign them to an organisation based on a particular group membership within the AD rather than by the companyName attribute?

The script currently identifies the groups in question in AD

"UsersByGroupID":[
           {
               "ObjectID":"Group Object ID",
               "Name":"Group Object Name"

but then assigns them using

"Attribute":"{{.companyName}}",
               "Type":5,
               "Membership":"member",
               "TasksView":false,
               "TasksAction":false

Hi @AndyHill,

The Attribute... bit allows one to configure the organisational units one can assign the person to (this assumes that the organisational unit (eg Org) is already created in Hornbill).

Instead of

{{.companyName}}

you can use any other Azure attribute. If the value you wish to use as the organisation is already mentioned in one of the attributes, then you can simple substitute .companyName for the name of the Azure attribute.

As an alternative, you can hard-code the group name and, with that, just create a new configuration file PER GROUP, so:

"UsersByGroupID":[
	{
    	"ObjectID":"Group Object ID",
        "Name":"Specific Group Object Name"
	}
]

would be matched with:

{
	"Attribute":"Specific Group Object Name",
	"Type":5,
	"Membership":"member",
	"TasksView":false,
	"TasksAction":false
}
