Cleanup School Security Groups and Administrative Units

  • Bài viết

When running School Data Sync (SDS), you have the option when creating your Managed data with Microsoft 365 configuration to create and manage Organization (School) Administrative Units (AUs) and Security Groups (SGs).

As the year progresses, SDS keeps the memberships updated as school enrollments change in the Student Information System (SIS) and sent to SDS to add or remove memberships.

When you're getting ready for the next academic session or school year, a step in prepping your environment is to remove any users that transferred to another school or graduated. You should run cleanup after your connected data source's sync end date is reached.

  5. Select on the Next button or Sign in to proceed. It asks you for permissions and consent on behalf of your organization for connecting to Microsoft Graph PowerShell.
