Start synchronizationJob

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Start an existing synchronization job. If the job is in a paused state, it continues processing changes from the point where it was paused. If the job is in quarantine, the quarantine status is cleared. Don't create scripts to call the start job continuously while it's running because that can cause the service to stop running. Use the start job only when the job is currently paused or in quarantine.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
✅	✅	✅	❌

Permissions

Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.

Permission type	Least privileged permissions	Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account)	Synchronization.ReadWrite.All	Not available.
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	Application.ReadWrite.OwnedBy	Synchronization.ReadWrite.All

To configure application provisioning or HR-driven provisioning, the calling user must also be assigned at least the Application Administrator or Cloud Application Administrator directory role.

To configure Microsoft Entra Cloud Sync, the calling user must also be assigned at least the Hybrid Identity Administrator directory role.

POST https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/servicePrincipals/{id}/synchronization/jobs/{jobId}/start


// Code snippets are only available for the latest version. Current version is 5.x

// To initialize your graphClient, see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/sdks/create-client?from=snippets&tabs=csharp

Important

Microsoft Graph SDKs use the v1.0 version of the API by default, and do not support all the types, properties, and APIs available in the beta version. For details about accessing the beta API with the SDK, see Use the Microsoft Graph SDKs with the beta API.

For details about how to add the SDK to your project and create an authProvider instance, see the SDK documentation.
