Chapter 2

Managing M365 users, groups, and identity synchronization

A key aspect of deploying Microsoft 365 is configuring user identity properly, so users can seamlessly access resources in the on-premises and Microsoft 365 environments. If it is not done correctly, users must juggle different accounts, depending on whether the accessible resources are hosted locally or in the cloud. In this chapter, you will learn about designing an identity strategy, managing Microsoft Entra ID identities, planning identity synchronization with Microsoft Entra Connect and Microsoft Entra Cloud Sync, and managing and troubleshooting identity synchronization.
