Export Filtering Capability for EntraID Groups

What is a one sentence summary of your feature request?

Enable export filtering on EntraID Groups natively to improve performance for large tenants

Please describe your idea in detail. What is your problem, why do you feel this idea is the best solution, etc.

Currently, exporting all EntraID Groups using OOTB connector results in significant performance issues due to the volume of data being processed in our tenant. This leads to slow synchronization times.
Due to lack of native filtering options, we’ve implemented a custom workaround by creating a dedicated entity (EntraID_Group) and populating it using PowerShell scripts. While this solution allows us to target specific groups, it introduces complexity and maintenance overhead, and it deviates from standard platform capabilities.

How do you currently solve the challenges you have by not having this feature?

We currently solve this by maintaining a custom entity (EntraID_Group) and using PowerShell scripts to selectively export only the relevant groups. This approach is functional but not optimal in terms of maintainability.

hi @helmo

We are aware of this issue, and we’ve been working on a solution for quite some time. Unfortunately, we are limited by behaviors in Entra, but this is still on our radar.
