Migration Assistent LDAP->Entra

What is a one sentence summary of your feature request?

A Migration Assistent, that helps mapping the Entra Users to LDAP objects.

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

After switching from LDAP-Connection to Entra-Connection, the Users and Groups are seen as new objects. In order for the entra user to have the same permissions, you currently have to edit those permissions per object manually. With a great number of objects and various different permissions this might take forever.
An assistant, that could detect permissions based on the ldap name and map those object permissions to the entra user or group with the same name would help a lot with the migration.

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

Manually editing permissions of every object

It would also be nice to have all combinations of sources and destinations of users for a migration:

  • AD onPrem ↔ Entra ID
  • local users ↔ Entra ID
  • local users ↔ AD onPrem
