Configure User filter
When configuring the capture scope, you can limit the backup to specific users using Azure AD (Entra ID) extended attributes. This filter allows you to target only the required set of users, ensuring efficient backup management.
This connector backs up user data based on a specified attribute and its value, excluding data from users who do not match the criteria.
To filter users based on Entra ID (Azure AD) extended attributes
- In the User filter section, click Enable this feature.
- In the Attribute name field, enter the attribute's name to apply the filter - for example, department.
- Click + Add extended AD attributes filters.
- On the AD Attribute filter page, enter the attribute value to filter users - for example, account.
- Click Add.
Extended Entra ID attribute filters match a user or group based on its attribute value.
These filters are case-insensitive and support wildcard usage.
Regular expressions are supported by prefixing the filter string with Regex.
