  • AAD tenant's domain name* - This is a required field. Fill in the domain name saved above under Prerequisites section.

  • Comma-separated attributes that identify a user - Provide an Entra ID specific attribute (e.g., employeeId, jobTitle, department, etc) for which you want to sync Entra ID users. For example, if you specify department, only accounts that have a defined department will be imported. If multiple attributes are specified, all accounts having at least one of the attributes defined will be imported.
