Syncing users

Enclave syncs users based on the enclaveGroupId which is a group that you define in Microsoft O365. This group will be used to determine which users are to be synced with Enclave. The group name is case sensitive.

Any other groups that that have names which match a label in Enclave will be assigned as labels to their respective users. This is useful for adding users to enclaves based on their group membership.

INFO

Enclave uses the primary email address as the unique key for a user. If the primary email address is changed, the user will be removed from Enclave and re-added. Email addresses are always lowercased before being synced.

Syncing labels

Optionally you can choose to sync labels from Microsoft O365. This maps group names to Enclave labels. This is useful for keeping your labels used for users synced with your IAM platform.

WARNING

If labels are removed from Microsoft O365 but still associated with enclaves/alerts in Enclave, they will not be removed from Enclave. This is to prevent accidental removal.
