    Create a Connection

    To connect Fly to your source or destination Microsoft Entra ID for the Microsoft Entra ID to Microsoft Entra ID Migration, you need to add Microsoft Entra ID connections by completing the following steps.

    1. Click Settings in the left pane, and select Connections to access the Connections page.

    2. Click Create connection. The Create connection panel appears.

    3. In the Create connection panel, complete the following settings:

      • Connection name – Enter a name for the connection.

      • Connection type – Select Microsoft Entra ID from the drop-down list to create a connection for Microsoft Entra ID.

      • Tenant – Select a tenant from/to which you want to migrate User or Group objects. You can enter the keyword of a tenant in the Search tenant text box and press Enter on the keyboard to search the tenant.

        If your desired tenant cannot be found from the drop-down list, you need to connect to the tenant in AvePoint Online Services Tenant management. Refer to for details. Then click the Refresh (Button: Refresh button.) button to reload the tenant.

        *Note: If the selected tenant is a multi-geo tenant, you can define a specific location of the destination tenant to create destination Groups by selecting the Create in the following location of destination multi-geo tenant checkbox and selecting a location from the drop-down list.

      • Container for auto map – Select a container of the tenant selected above if you want to automatically set up your mappings. You can enter the keyword of a container in the Search container text box and press Enter on the keyboard to search the container. Make sure at least one scan job has been run in AvePoint Online Services and there are objects in the container. If the container still cannot be found in the drop-down list, you can set up a scan profile in AvePoint Online Services to use Auto Discovery to find the objects you want to migrate. Refer to for details. Then, click the Refresh (Button: Refresh button.) button to reload the tenant.

        *Note: If this connection is used as the destination, you do not need to configure a container here. During the auto map process, Fly can automatically add the destination group email addresses using the source group names and the domain of the destination service account/app profile.

      • Credentials – Select an app profile of the tenant selected above to run the migration jobs. You can enter the keyword of an app profile in the Search app profile text box and press Enter on the keyboard to search the app profile.

        *Note: If you select to create a new app profile in AvePoint Online Services, after you create the app profile, click the Refresh (Button: Refresh button.) button to reload the app profile.

    4. Click Save to save your configurations.

    On the Connections page, you can manage the existing connections.

    - Filter – Click **Filter** to filter connections by connection type and/or tenant. - Search – Enter the keyword of a connection name in the search box to search for the desired connection. - Edit – Click the connection name to edit a connection. - Delete – Select a connection and click **Delete** to delete it. Or you can select one or multiple connections and click **Delete** to delete them.
