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

> [!NOTE]
> 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](/classic/docs/import-azure-data#import-field-data).
