Integration Overview
The Microsoft Entra ID Integration in Kandji allows customers to sync all Microsoft Entra ID user and group objects into the user directory within Kandji, allowing administrators to assign devices to Microsoft Entra ID users within Kandji. These delegated permissions are leveraged through the Microsoft Graph API to synchronize user directory information.
