Whilst it is great that groups show up I don't want to have to create a group or choose something that is 'as close to' but different for each customer. Surely 'Licensed Users' or even selecting license type should be an option here

Unfortunaltey this feature is useless without being able to filter which users get imported. Need to be able to select by group or by license type.

At this moment unusable because all objects are imported including service accounts, external accounts, etc
Please provide this ability asap

Urgh importing everything is not what we want! Let us set some high level filters first, groups, licensed, shared mailboxes etc.

I don't want guests. I want to be able to tick what I want to keep in sync and ignore the rest.

We would like to filter the AzureAD synchronisation to skip the following:
1. Unlicensed accounts
2. Groups
3. Guest accounts
We aren't using the synchronisation any more because of the time it takes to housekeep the contacts once in Atera

@Product Team the article you linked to appears to be for tickets not Contacts.

There needs to be a way to do this, I just tried the sync and it brings down service accounts, old unlicensed users, etc. We either need to be able to specify only licensed users or have a way to hide the contacts.

I have a tenant with several domains .. those domains are customers for my business and I need to split this.

It would be great, if we can filter by Email address. So Atera import just users, with the given domain from the customer domain in Atera.

All others should be not imported

Yep, definitely do not want to pull down every email address in a tenant as a contact because Teams, SharePoint sites, and shared email addresses like "hello@somecompany.com" get added as contacts.

We were supper excited when we heard this feature was coming. But after testing, we are not going to use it as everyone has flagged, nobody wants to import every possible user from Azure.

M365 is a collaboration platform and 1 tenant itself can have hundreds of external or guest users. There is no reason to pull all these contacts in the Atera. Even Microsoft AD Sync which sync on-prem users to M365 cloud, has filter and OU which is used to control users synced.
Hopefully product team understand the importance of this idea and will implement it soon.

This is very important. I have many clients with a lot of external contacts and it makes a real mess with it imports..

Hi Atera! Your answer here about tags was meant for my other suggestion. Manual tags has nothing to do with this suggestion.

It should be possible to select categories
- Licensed
- External
- Shared Mailbox
- Distribution Groups
Everything is too invasive

Sync of distribution groups would be great.

Yes limiting to specific security groups would be preferred

Or at least let us review the contacts and select which ones we want to import.

The new Azure AD contact sync is a great idea, but with one major flaw - External contacts in Azure AD should not be synced to Atera. Licensed users should be the only contacts synced down, as these are the only contacts worth creating in Atera. Please implement options to limit what's synced down.
