Create 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.

Create new synchronization job with a default synchronization schema. The job is created in a disabled state. Call Start job to start synchronization.

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

In delegated scenarios with work or school accounts, the signed-in user must be an owner or member of the group or be assigned a supported Microsoft Entra role or a custom role with a supported role permission. The following least privileged roles are supported for this operation.

• Application Administrator
• Cloud Application Administrator
• Hybrid Identity Administrator - to configure Microsoft Entra Cloud Sync

HTTP Request

POST /servicePrincipals/{id}/synchronization/jobs/

Request headers
