Creating cloud only users and hybrid users with SSO
Hello, We want to create Employee users as hybrid users and students users as cloud only users. Currently we are using password hash synchronization. Employee users are hybrid users. If we want to ...
Well, if the accounts are "cloud-only", as in no corresponding object exist in your on-premises AD, there is no way to use password sync, PTA, or AD FS for those. Instead management and authentication will be done completely against O365, including passwords.
- Thanks.
I have one more question.
While using Azure AD connect for SSO or ADFS, can we use group filtering so that few users which we don't want to be on Azure AD and to be kept only on Local AD, can not be selected for synchronization or SSO.
Please advise.- You can find details about filtering options here. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/connect/active-directory-aadconnectsync-configure-filtering#filtering-options
Yes. Our filtering is an option while setting up and I recommend it. I filter things like service accounts and other things by not choosing the OUs they exist in.
