You can import employees from the Azure Active Directory by following the steps below:

  1. Navigate to Company Management > Employees > List > Import > Active Directory.

  2. Click On-Cloud (Azure). You will have to connect your Azure account to proceed further.

  3. Click Connect your Azure Account. Azure will require the following permissions to integrate:
    ​

    1. Read All Users : This permission reads all users within the organisation.

    2. Read All Groups : This permission reads all groups within the organisation.

    3. Read All Domains : This permission reads all domains within the organisation.

    4. Read and Write All Administrative Units : This permission reads all administrative units and users within those administrative units.

  4. You will be directed to the Microsoft login page from where you will have to login into your Microsoft Admin account.

  5. You will then be redirected to the Connectors page (Company Management > Employees > Connectors).

  6. The status of the import will appear green after a successful connection with Azure, under the Status column.

  7. Click the edit icon to configure the integration in the following tabs:
    ​

    1. Sync Properties

      ​

      1. Configure your data sync frequency- From the drop-down, select how often you want to sync users from the Azure directory to Right-Hand.

      2. Configure your sync notifications emails- Enable the below options if you want to receive notifications when the sync is successful or when it fails, respectively. You can disable them if you don't wish to receive notifications.

        • Receive notification emails on successful sync

        • Receive notification emails on failed sync
          ​
          ​

        • Disable- The user data will not change in Right-Hand portal if it is updated in Azure directory.
          ​

      3. Archive Existing Users-

        • Enable- This option will auto-archive/ delete the user data in Right-Hand portal if it's archived in Azure directory.

        • Disable- The user data in Right-Hand portal will not be archived if it's archived in Azure directory.
          ​
          ​
