Is there a way to automate the process of adding/removing users to Viva engage community

Question

As of right now the process of adding users who join SharePoint to our viva engage community is all done manually so I was wondering whether there is a solution for this that can automate the process of adding a user to viva engage at the same time as sharepoint.

Hi @Dylan Johal ,

Yes, there is a way to automate the process of adding and removing users to Viva Engage community. If you enforce Office 365 identity in your network, all Office 365 users with a Viva Engage license are created as pending users in Viva Engage. When you create users in Office 365, they can sign in to Viva Engage with their Office 365 credentials. When a user is deleted from Office 365, they're automatically deactivated or suspended in Viva Engage. When a user is restored in Office 365, they're reactivated in Viva Engage. Additionally, you can import an address book and import a CSV file exported from an email application, such as Outlook or Apple Mail. The CSV file should include a single email address on each line.
