Advanced Settings: Synchronization
The synchronization process automatically syncs roles, users and profiles from your Azure AD tenant into your DNN portal. The options are the following:
-
Role Sync: If enabled, users that belong to an Azure AD group will be added to and removed from a DNN role with the same name.
Keep these terms in mind, a DNN role translates to an Azure AD group and not to an Azure AD role. The latter won't come into play in the synchronization process.
-
User Sync: If enabled, users from Azure AD will be added to the DNN portal and have their information updated automatically. It will not automatically remove them.
-
Profile Sync: If enabled, your profile picture will be synchronized too.
If a synchronization process is enabled, you need to specify an Azure Application ID and secret to use the Microsoft Graph API.
- Application Id: The Azure AD Application ID.
- Application Key: The Azure AD Application's secret value.
By default, all users and groups coming from Azure AD will contain the prefix "Azure-". The following two options allow you to disable the addition of that prefix.
- Prefix user names: Enables the addition of the prefix "Azure-" to all user names coming from AAD.
- Prefix group names: Enables the addition of the prefix "Azure-" to all group names coming from AAD.
