2026-02-16Last 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.
  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 and fill out the row:
    The Identity field mappings dialog in the ClearID portal with a mapping field added and the Add mapping field button highlighted.
    ClearID field
    Select the identity field to map.
    Mapping type
    Choose a 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.
    Microsoft Entra ID field
    Select the source field from Entra ID.
    Example value
    View a sample value pulled from your enterprise application.
  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.
