2025-09-02Last updated

To define how identity data flows between Microsoft Entra ID and Genetec ClearID™, you must configure your identity field mappings.

Before you begin

What you should know

You must be an Account administrator to configure Microsoft Entra ID identity field mappings.

Procedure

  1. In the ClearID web portal, click Administration > Identity synchronization .
  2. Select the Microsoft Entra ID configuration you want to configure from the list.
  3. In the Identity field mappings section, click Configure.
  4. In the Identity field mappings dialog box, configure the mappings as needed.
    Note:
    Three ClearID fields are mapped to Microsoft Entra ID fields by default: External ID, First name, and Active.
  5. To add a new mapping, click Add mapping field.
    The Identity field mappings dialog in the ClearID portal with a mapping field added and the Add mapping field button highlighted.
    1. In the ClearID field column select the ClearID field to map.
    2. In the Mapping type column, select the mapping type:
      Direct
      The direct mapping type directly applies the Microsoft Entra ID value to the ClearID identity field when synchronized.
      Regex
      The regex mapping type applies a regex transformation to the field value when synchronizing from the Microsoft Entra ID user to the ClearID identity.
      Fixed
      The fixed mapping type applies a fixed value for the field. For example, the value for the Active field will always be true.
    3. In the Microsoft Entra ID field column, select the Microsoft Entra ID field to map to the selected ClearID field.
    4. In the Example value from Microsoft Entra ID column, view example values pulled from your Microsoft Entra ID enterprise application for the mappings you have configured.
  6. (Optional) To use the recommended identity field mappings, click Set default mapping.
    The Identity field mappings dialog in the ClearID portal with default mapping fields added and the Set default mapping button highlighted.
  7. Click Save.
