Azure user import - filter groups

[Mark Priest]

Hi 

We are currently testing the Azure import. Is there a way to exclude OUs in the import as in the past with the LDAP imports it has sometimes over written the access for our service desk team and changed their permission to basic user. We dont want this to change the service desk team to user when it does an update.  Or am I correct in thinking that it will skip existing accounts and only update departments etc ?

thanks

Hi @Mark Priest,

The Azure (now Entra ID) user import utility supports the filtering of return user objects by either the groups they are members of, or by specific filters applied to the List Users Microsoft Graph API call. Further details can be found in the Data Imports Guide.

Cheers,

Hi @Steve G

 

thanks for that info we do already have a group there that all staff are in eg  hornbill access. However if users in hornbill already exist will they be over written. In the past with the LDAP import we included all our AD OUs except the IT and other Hornbill full user accounts. Can we exclude Groups from the azure import such as IT or HR in the way we used to exclude people from imports by certain OUs in Active directory.

I seem to have the Azure import working however it overwrites the usertype to basic on an existing user that usertype has been changed to user
