Applying Data Changes
Finalize changes to directory data by writing them directly to Microsoft Entra ID or by exporting the changes for manual application.
Administrator rights and the correct permissions configured are required to apply data changes.
Directly Apply changes to Microsoft Entra ID
If TeamDirectory has been granted the appropriate scopes and the administrator has the necessary Azure Role (e.g. User Administrator), changes can be applied directly to Microsoft Entra ID. This allows for real-time updates to the directory data within your organization's Microsoft ecosystem.
The 'Apply Selected Changes' button allows admins to apply only the selected changes in the review list.
Fix Manually with PowerShell Script
In cases where you does not want TeamDirectory to make changes directly, the 'Fix Manually' option generates a PowerShell script that contains the necessary commands to update the directory. This script can be executed by a person with the appropriate permissions, ensuring changes are made in a controlled and secure manner.
The Powershell script uses Microsoft Graph PowerShell and generates the appropriate list of commands to make the changes within Microsoft Entra ID via Microsoft Graph.
Download Changes as CSV
For customers who rely on a different back-office system as the "Source of Truth," the changes can be exported as a CSV file. This file can be used internally to update your systems, and once Microsoft Entra ID is updated by the customer, the changes will flow back into TeamDirectory. This option provides flexibility for organizations with complex data management workflows.
The 'Include All Directory Users' checkbox allows you to export the full directory or only people with changed values.
