How to sync all types of users/employees

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by GER_Nico 117

hi everyone,

I'm new to BC and just wondering how all types of users/employees are related. I have users that I can sync to Office 365. Then there are resources that can be linked to the users. But there are also salespersons. And last but not least, there are employees, who in turn are linked to the resources and salespersons.

Is it correct that I sometimes have to create five different data records for each employee? Or is there an elegant solution for synchronizing the data? For example the last name in case someone gets married or something like that. I think it would be best if I only have to make the changes once in AAD and they are applied to all other places.

Thank you for your help and best regards
Nico

    The users that are synched to Business Central are only the Azure AD users that have been assigned a Business Central license.

    You can read more about that process in this blog post:

    Hi, unfortunately, as far as I know, only users can sync in Business Central, both Employee and SalesPerson have to be created and updated manually.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    this is the answer I suspected, but not the one I was hoping for.
