NOTE: Microsoft Graph integrations are synced nightly.
If your organization uses Microsoft for active directory management, we recommend that you use the Microsoft Graph integration to manage your BrainStorm users. Changes made to your organization's active directory will automatically merge with BrainStorm each night. At this time the Microsoft Graph integration can add new users to BrainStorm and merge changes made to existing users.
NOTE : Users removed from your Azure Active Directory are not automatically removed from BrainStorm.
NOTE : These steps need to be completed by a Microsoft Global Admin with access to authorize permissions. This administrator will also need a BrainStorm account with administrator role access.
IMPORTANT: Verify that you are Managing on behalf of your customer.
