Customize Synchronization Rule in Entra Connect Sync

Hi Everyone,

I want to create a sync rule in Entra Connect Sync client so that only users based on a specific attribute sync to Entra ID and stop all other users in AD from syncing to Entra, how can I do that?

Can someone here help me out!

  • Hello Sohaib, 

    You should look into inbound filtering documented here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/hybrid/connect/how-to-connect-sync-configure-filtering#inbound-filtering

    Goodluck!
