Viewing or modifying the manager of a hybrid Azure user

You can use the Managed by setting of the Active Roles Web Interface to modify the assigned manager of a hybrid Azure user.

    The newly-added manager then appears in the Manager field.

  5. To apply your changes, click Save.

    The Azure Properties > Manager ID field will then show the new manager information.

TIP: To verify the changes in Microsoft Azure, check the Work Info > Manager ID value of the Azure Portal.

Disable or re-enable an Azure AD user

Disable or re-enable an Azure AD user

This allows you to disable a previously enabled user in Azure AD while retaining all the Azure settings that were configured for the user. The Azure AD user settings are retained for a disabled account. Hence you can re-enable a disabled user again without having to reconfigure the user.

To disable or re-enable a previously enabled user for Azure

  1. On the Active Roles Web interface Navigation bar, click Directory Management.
  2. On the Views tab in the Browse pane, click Active Directory.

    The list of Active Directory domains is displayed.

  1. Click the specific domain, Container or the Organizational Unit, and then the specific user to be disabled.
  2. In the Command pane, click Disable.

    The account is disabled and marked with a disabled icon.

  1. To enable a disabled account, select the check-box corresponding to the disabled account and in the Command pane click Enable.

    NOTE: The Enable command only appears for a disabled account.

    The account is enabled again.
