We have Sharepoint 2016 Environment On-Premise and we are changing from ADFS to Azure AD.After creating Enterprise application on Azure AD ,we configured the parameters on Sharepoint and while trying to login ,sharepoint saying "you dont have permission to access the site"
We could add manually the users and then they can access the site but is there any method to do auto mappings of profile on adfs to azure AD as we have some 600 users
Azure ad has got all the users added .
Any help appreciated

    To migrate profiles from one identity provider to another, you would use Move-SPUser.

    Hi @Gopan

    After establishing the connection between Azure AD and SharePoint, if users in Azure AD need to access SharePoint, they still need to be added.

    You don't need to manually add users one by one, you just need to put all users in a group in Azure ad, and then add this group in SharePoint.
