Entra ID Field Settings & Sync Options

Configure how data from your Entra ID directory is handled during imports and ongoing syncs.

These controls give you fine-grained control over:

Which fields are brought in from Entra ID
When (or if) we overwrite existing data in your workspace
How we handle changes in your Entra ID directory over time

Fields Settings

Field Settings determine which attributes from your Entra ID directory are used when importing users into your Social Card workspace. These must be configured before you start an import task.

We use the standard Entra ID user object schema to source this information.

Field Options

Each field includes two toggles:

Sync – When enabled, this field will be imported from Entra ID into your workspace.
Overwrite – When enabled, this field will replace any existing value in your workspace if it differs. If you manually import or update fields in your workspace and don't want them to change on sync, make sure this is off.

You can enable sync without enabling overwrite if you want to import a value once but preserve manual updates going forward. These settings are applied when an import or sync task is run, so they can be configured or changed based on the current task.

Sync Options

Sync Options control how we handle various scenarios during import and sync tasks, especially during group syncs or when your directory changes.

These settings allow you to define automated behaviors so you don’t have to clean up or update cards manually.

Group Sync Options

Option	Description
Import New Group Members	Automatically create recipient profiles for new Entra ID users added to a synced group on the next group sync.
Remove Cards for Users No Longer in the Group	Automatically remove business cards assigned to users who have been removed from the group on the next sync. (Does not delete recipients)

General Sync Options

Option	Description
Import Only Enabled Users	Only import users whose `accountEnabled` property is true in Entra ID.
Remove Disabled Users	If a user becomes disabled in Entra ID, their recipient profile will be deleted in Social Card on the next sync.
Remove Deleted Users	If a user is deleted in Entra ID, their profile will be removed from your workspace on the next sync.
