DynamicSync
The cloud solution for dynamic groups in Azure
DynamicSync synchronizes groups in your Azure AD cloud.
Dynamic filters enable customized group memberships in AAD.
What can DynamicSync do?
Synchronize groups and filter members in Azure AD, automated and scheduled
It completes the AD based DynamicGroup with a dynamic group service in the cloud.
The following features characterize DynamicSync:
- the synchronization of Azure AD (AAD) groups into new AAD groups (M365/Security)
- adding and removing members from the synchronized groups
- creating attribute-based groups using dynamic filters
The advantages
DynamicSync enhances your Azure AD groups:
the application creates new permission groups and filters members into appropriate teams.
Native Cloud Service
Avoids overauthorization
Automatic
scaling
More flexibility in Azure AD group management
DynamicSync brings more flexibility and usability to Azure AD group management
Group synchronization in Azure
With DynamicSync, different types of cloud groups can be synchronized to other cloud groups.
All source-groups can be used for this purpose:
- synchronized groups
- M365 groups
- security groups
The synchronized groups are saved as M365 or security groups.
Attribute-based dynamic groups in Azure
DynamicSync also creates dynamic groups in Azure AD.
Dynamic filters are used to assign employees to a new group.
Specifically, members who share a particular attribute are filtered out and added to a new AAD group.
This could be:
- department groups
- inactive user groups
- ‘PreferredLanguage’ groups
AD groups for M365 / MS Teams
Thanks to DynamicSync, you can create new teams in Microsoft Teams from AD groups.
With synchronization, different permissions and security levels are passed on, such as:
- Teams access
- File storage in SharePoint
- License assignments
- Mobile apps (Outlook etc.)
This also means less work for administrators. They maintain their groups and permissions only once in Active Directory and then synchronize them to the cloud.
Automatic & time-controlled synchronization
The synchronization between the groups runs automatically at regular intervals. This means that all groups and members are always up to date.
Say goodbye to static Azure AD groups!
So far, administrators have had to cope with the following situation:
In principle, synchronized groups from the AD cannot be edited in Azure.
These groups are static and can only be used as they were transferred from the AD.
Azure P1 and P2 licenses, which promise greater flexibility,
are expensive and not included in every budget.
DynamicSync cares about better working conditions for IT administrators 🙂
