This article highlights the benefits of integrating Microsoft Entra ID and how to map labels correctly.
When utilizing Entra ID Roster Synchronization, key Microsoft Entra Admin Center fields are automatically captured and mapped to the corresponding fields within the Symbol Security platform. This synchronization process is designed to ensure that any updates made within the Microsoft Entra environment—such as changes in user roles, department assignments, or contact information are up-to-date in the Symbol Security system. This not only minimizes the risk of data discrepancies but also enhances the overall accuracy of user records.
The Symbol Programmable Labels used in the Symbol Security app align with the following Microsoft Entra Admin Center Labels:
| Microsoft Entra Admin Center Labels | Symbol Programmable Labels |
| GivenName | First Name |
| Surname | Last Name |
| UserPrincipalName | |
| JobTitle | Title |
| Department | Department |
By leveraging this synchronization, administrators can seamlessly manage user records, ensuring that training assignments are accurately aligned with users' current roles and responsibilities. This integration eliminates the need for manual updates, which can be cumbersome and error-prone, allowing administrators to focus on more strategic initiatives. As a result, the workflow for reporting on user training progress and compliance becomes much more efficient.
Overall, this streamlined user provisioning process not only enhances the effectiveness of Symbol’s Security Awareness Training programs but also supports organizations in maintaining a robust security posture through well-informed and trained personnel.
