About Azure AD Integration user deployment
You can use Azure AD Integration user deployment to manage and import Users and Shared Mailbox users.
Overview
Azure Active Directory (AD) is Microsoft's cloud-based identity and access management service. For more information, see Azure AD.
As an administrator, you can use Azure AD to automate user provisioning between your existing Windows Server AD and your Microsoft 365 app.
If your organization is using Azure AD to store user details, you can integrate your Azure AD with inSync to create inSync users. All you need to do is import user details from your Azure AD instead of creating users individually.
