Importing users from 365/Azure AD

Hello @olorin92,

I can think of a couple options here, but neither of them are simple:

  1. Bulk import - for this you would need to export your user data, convert the output into appropriately formatted JSON including your permissions data, and then import into Auth0. You might be able to keep your existing passwords**. If not, all users will need to reset their passwords. Important: In this model, the users are no longer authenticating with their AD credentials.

  2. As above, but also connect your Office 365/Azure AD to Auth0, and set up account linking. You might be able to create the initial user profiles instead of importing them. That option should be investigated to see if there is an advantage to create vs. import for you. E.g., with create you can assign a random password to each user (these are throwaway passwords that don’t need to be remembered). Once account linking is set up, your users will then log in with their AD creds, and their AD login will be linked to their Auth0 profile.

**passwords must use bcrypt $2a$ and $2b$ with 10 saltRounds
