O365 Groups Sync

Sync users based on their O365 Groups membership to target training for specific teams, projects, or departments.


Overview

O365 Groups sync allows you to:

  • Select specific O365 Groups for user synchronization
  • Automatically trigger sync after configuration changes

Prerequisites

Before configuring Groups sync, ensure you have:

  1. Completed the O365 setup in the Adding Users section
  2. Granted the necessary permissions to INFIMA
  3. Admin access to the INFIMA Dashboard
  4. O365 Groups configured in your tenant

Configuring Groups Sync

Steps

  1. Log into the INFIMA Dashboard
  2. Navigate to Users and click Sync by O365 Groups
  3. The page displays your current O365 Groups
  4. Select groups to sync by checking the boxes next to each group name
    • You can select multiple groups
  5. Review the Selected Groups shown on the right

Sync Behavior

When you select specific groups, only users within those groups will remain in INFIMA. Users outside the selected groups will be removed from the platform.

    • Changes will take effect after the refresh completes

Best Practices

Group Selection Strategy

  • Department Groups: Select groups for specific departments like Sales, Engineering, or HR
  • Security Groups: Focus on users with elevated permissions or access to sensitive data
  • Distribution Lists: Target communication groups that need security awareness
