Group writeback with Microsoft Entra Cloud Sync Article12/27/2024 In this article -->With the release of provisioning agent 1.1.1370.0, cloud sync now has the ability to perform group writeback. This feature means that cloud sync can provision groups directly to your on-premises Active Directory environment. You can also now use identity governance features to govern access to AD-based applications, such as by including a group in an entitlement management access package.ImportantThe public preview of Group Writeback v2 in Microsoft Entra Connect Sync will no longer be available after June 30, 2024. This feature will be discontinued on this date, and you will no longer be supported in Connect Sync to provision cloud security groups to Active Directory. The feature will continue to operate beyond the discontinuation date; however, it will no longer receive support after this date and may cease functioning at any time without notice.We offer similar functionality in Microsoft Entra Cloud Sync called Group Provision to Active Directory that you can use instead of Group Writeback v2 for provisioning cloud security groups to Active Directory. We're working on enhancing this functionality in Cloud Sync along with other new features that we're developing in Cloud Sync.Customers who use this preview feature in Connect Sync should switch their configuration from Connect Sync to Cloud Sync. You can choose to move all your hybrid sync to Cloud Sync (if it supports your needs). You can also run Cloud Sync side by side and move only cloud security group provisioning to Active Directory onto Cloud Sync.For customers who provision Microsoft 365 groups to Active Directory, you can keep using Group Writeback v1 for this capability.You can evaluate moving exclusively to Cloud Sync by using the user synchronization wizard.Provision Microsoft Entra ID to Active Directory - PrerequisitesThe following prerequisites are required to implement provisioning groups to Active Directory.License requirementsUsing this feature requires Microsoft Entra ID P1 licenses.
