    Please note:

    Group names are limited to 64 characters. Groups imported from Active Directory that span longer than 64 characters will not be imported.

  • To add a tenant click Add.

  • To delete a tenant, click the Delete button corresponding to the tenant you want to delete

  • Click Save Changes

Import Manually

If you want to manually import all the users from Azure according to the settings and filters that you configured, click Import Now (this may take a while).

If the Import Now button is disabled, you can hover over the button for a tooltip that explains why the button is disabled.

Filter Imports

The Azure integration allows for multiple options for filtering the import from Azure to SysAid.

Click the three dots (optional) if you want to filter which:

  • Users are imported (based on Fields such as Department or Group Name)

  • Groups are imported from Azure, click 

Default Import Setting

By default, SysAid imports users who are defined as active in Azure 

To import all users, clear the “Active users only” checkbox

When you import data from Azure, the Integration pulls and maps the values from Azure Fields to SysAid User Fields, as shown in the table above.
