Microsoft Entra ID Metadata Loader

Hey All, 

 

Does anyone know if one of the out of the box loaders would work to ingest metadata from Microsoft Entra ID?  Or would there need to be a custom loader built for this?

 

 

Best,

Sean

Hi Sean, there is no dedicated loader for Entra - Active directory, however in connect admin you can configure the AD connection which will actually sync and create users in connect.
I would start on some test server - there is hi chance if you do not configure filters to be restrictive, in can create quite a lot of users, and actually can create mess in connect - and conflict with existing users.

 The good practice is to have not more I would say 2.000 users in a group -> don't forget they are automatically assigned to default group.

 

You can find some hint in attached picture. 

the best practice I would say would be to have a connect users in AD groups based on permissions and sync just this subset of users.

Hope it make sense to you, and I did not confused you.
