Import Azure users or groups

Use this procedure to import Azure users and groups.

Use the User and Group Import and Synchronization Wizard to import users and groups from an Azure source. You choose the users and groups to import from an Azure server.

  1. In the navigation pane of the Output Manager console, click Administration.
  2. In the Administration pane, click Manage Users.
  3. On the Users tab in the Administration - Manage Users pane, click User/Group Import Wizard.
  4. In the User and Group Import and Synchronization Wizard screen, click Import Azure users and groups. Click Next.
  5. In the Select Azure Groups from which to Import/Update screen, select groups that contain the users you want to import. Click Next.
    • All users under the selected container will be imported, including users in containers or who are members of groups under the selected container.
    • Groups will be imported only if they are individually selected. Only security groups will be imported. Distribution groups will not be imported.
  6. In the Select Import and synchronization options screen, select any of the following options:
    • Select Add new users/groups to Output Manager to import all new users and groups. This option also updates the group membership table for new users.
    • Select Update information within Output Manager for existing users/groups to compare all users and groups in Output Manager with all users and groups in Azure, and update their attributes and group membership.

      If this check box is selected but the Add new users/groups to Output Manager check box is not, then all users and groups that are already in Output Manager are synced.

    • During a sync, you can also select Only fill in missing values to only add incomplete information. If a value is null, it is replaced.
    • Select Remove users/groups that are no longer in the directory to delete users on import. Users do not have to be in the tree that is imported to be deleted.
    • You can also view or modify the user property mappings by selecting the View or modify which attributes are mapped to Output Manager Properties link.
  7. Click the Import / Sync button.

    Output Manager displays a warning about potential data loss. If you confirm the import and synchronization of Azure users and groups, Output Manager processes the import and produces a results screen.
