Rule Settings
Query Section
Setting name | Description |
---|---|
General Settings |
|
Use previous provision rule results instead of this query |
When used in a runbook, will take the users from the output of certain supported provisioning rule instead of directly through this query section. |
Limit scope to this Azure AD Administrative Unit |
You can select Azure AD Administrative Unit to limit the Web Query scope. By default, the value is taken from the Virtual Admin Unit setting. |
Query criteria | Query criteria are sent to the target platform with other query parameters to reduce the number of returned objects and may improve query performance. |
Apply to unlicensed users only |
It is possible to select whether to run the rule for all users or only for those who don't have a license. |
Exclude Office 365 disabled users |
This setting allows to exclude Office 365 disabled users from the rule scope or to include them. |

More options |
|
Properties to Display |
To display additional Office 365 properties for each object found by the query, add those properties to the list. |
System properties |
List of properties required for this rule to be executed correctly. |
Post-query filter |
To hide unwanted data based on criteria, not supported by the target system in the query criteria, set the filtering conditions here. Example: filter by the found object Distinguished Name. Tip: For optimal performance, use the Query criteria above to filter objects whenever possible.
|
Sort by |
Sort result objects list. |
MS Graph query condition (OData) |
By default Query criteria is used. But when the MS Graph query condition is specified, it overrides the Query criteria setting. Example: find all Office 365 user accounts with displayname starting with 'Adam.' |
Initialization script |
Usually, rules use query criteria to limit the query search scope. It improves the performance of the executed rule. Due to PowerShell limitations, it is not possible to use calculated expressions in query criteria. That is the point where the initialization script can help. You can initialize a global variable in this setting and then use it in query criteria. Important: To use a variable, declared in the initialization script, in the query scope, it must be global: $global:<variable name>.
|
Limit result set
|
The maximum number of users returned from Office 365 by default is 2000. Tip: It is possible to change the default value in Microsoft Office 365 extension settings.
|
MS Graph advanced queries |
Enables consistency level eventually which uses an index that might not be up-to-date with recent changes to the object. |
More Options |
|
Stop rule if tenant licensing change detected
|
It is recommended to stop the rule execution if a tenant licensing change is discovered. Tip: If licensing change is detected, you should click Update License in Microsoft Office 365 extension. For details, see KB20181017-1.
|
Stop rule if errors exceed
|
Too many errors may indicate rule misconfiguration or problems with connectivity. Set this value to some integer value, indicating the number of occurred errors, when the rule execution should stop. |
