Automatically Remove Deleted Microsoft 365 Users from Teamflect

Automatically remove deleted Microsoft 365 users from Teamflect with simple directory sync.

Written by Myka

When this feature is enabled, any user whose Microsoft 365 Office account is removed from Azure AD will be automatically deleted from Teamflect as well.


This means you no longer need to manually track or clean up inactive Teamflect licenses; Teamflect will stay aligned with your Microsoft 365 directory.

How to Enable Automatic Synchronization

Step 1 — Open the Admin Center

Click Admin Center in the upper-right corner of Teamflect.
​

Step 2 — Go to Active Users

In the left-hand menu, select Users → Active Users.
​

Step 3 — Turn on Directory Sync

Under the User data sync sources > Microsoft 365, locate

“Automatically synchronize Microsoft 365 directory with Teamflect.”

Toggle the switch on to activate the feature.
​

Enabling or disabling this setting requires Admin Consent for Microsoft 365. If you need guidance on granting consent, refer to our help article on How to Provide Admin Consent.

Enabled vs. Disabled

Setting / Scenario

What Happens

Enabled

Teamflect automatically synchronizes with Microsoft 365. Users deleted from Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) are removed from Teamflect after synchronization completes.

Disabled

Automatic directory synchronization is turned off. Users deleted from Microsoft Entra ID remain in Teamflect until an administrator removes them manually.

User data after removal

Removing a user from Teamflect does not automatically delete their historical records. Reviews, goals, tasks, and other historical data remain available to administrators, subject to their permissions.

License usage

Removing a user from the Active Users list frees up their Teamflect license allocation, where applicable.

Other directory changes

When synchronization is enabled, it also updates supported user attributes, such as name, email, job title, department, and manager information. The feature is not limited to removing deleted users.

Beneficial Use Cases

  1. Keep your user list aligned with Microsoft 365
    When a user is deleted in Microsoft 365, they are automatically removed from Teamflect. This ensures your user list always reflects your current organization without additional action.
    ​

  2. Eliminate manual user cleanup
    With this feature enabled, there’s no need to manually remove users from Teamflect after they are deleted in Microsoft 365. This helps reduce administrative effort and prevents outdated users from remaining in the system.
    ​

  3. Ensure consistency across systems
    Automatic removal keeps Teamflect in sync with Microsoft 365 by reflecting user deletions in real time. This helps maintain consistency between your systems without extra maintenance.
