Unit-employee AD syncing

This article summarizes how units can be synchronized to Cyberday exploiting AD or Entra groups
Back

You can use your AD groups to synchronize Cyberday unit-employee connections with them. This can help you to bring groups that might benefit from focused guidelines for certain groups or you might want to use them as participants in tasks or documentation. This also allows you to easily add different task process descriptions if the groups are units that implement some task or requirement differently.

AD synchronizing is available in Teams desktop app.

Unit synchronizing

Before synchronizing units, make sure you have invited all needed users to Cyberday

  1. Navigate from Organization dashboard to "Units and employees"
  2. Select "Edit structure"
  3. Select "Sync units (Entra/AD)"
  4. Select wanted units

Select only units that are relevant for your ISMS

Unit synchronizing doesn't create new users, but picks up existing Cyberday users.

Synchronizing can be done in "Edit structure" site

You'll be asked to authorize the synchronizing at first time. Authorizing needs to be authorized by organization's Microsoft environment's admin.

You can pick all wanted units

To maintain these units repeat the syncing periodically or when there are changes in users.

AD synchronizing needs to be authorized by your organization's admin at the first time. The synchronizing fetches all groups from your organization's Microsoft environment, and creates same groups to Cyberday account. The synchronizing doesn't create new accounts, but connects already existing Cyberday accounts.

Before doing unit synchronizing, we recommend to invite all needed users to Cyberdy account.
