Non – interactive users
– A user record can be marked as non-interactive
– This means that it can be used for programmatic access to
Dynamics 365 only such as integration with an ERP system.
– Non -interactive users do not require a license
– Five non-interactive users can be created for an instance
User account Synchronization
-Users of Dynamics 365 must have accounts created in the office 365 admin portal
-These are different from accounts used on the company network.
-To reduce account administration, consider the following options:
-Synchronize active directory with office 365
-Use Active Directory Federation Services
Synchronize Active Directory with Office 365
– User logs on to their on-premise environment with their Active Directory account (Domainusername)
– For Office 365 (Including Dynamics 365 ) services, user logs in again with work account(username@domain.com)
-Synchronization keeps the user name the same for both environments.
Use Active Directory Federation Services
– A single account(AD) is used for the on-premise network and Dynamics 365
providing a single sign – on (SSO) experience.
– User logs on to their on-premise environment with their AD
account(Domainusername)
– For Office 365 (Including Dynamics 365) services, the user is logged in automatically or logs in with their AD account.
Configure user account synchronization
– Setting up synchronization and SSO are both detailed processes.
