Understanding Google/Entra ID Synchronization in Symbol Security

This article highlights the benefits of integrating Google & Microsoft Entra ID, and how to map labels correctly.

When utilizing Entra ID or Google Workspace roster synchronization, key user fields are automatically captured and mapped to the corresponding fields within the Symbol Security platform. This synchronization helps ensure that updates made in either identity provider—such as changes to user names, titles, departments, or contact information—remain up to date in Symbol. As a result, organizations can reduce data discrepancies and maintain more accurate user records.

The Symbol Programmable Labels used in the Symbol Security app align with the following identity provider fields:

Microsoft (Entra ID) LabelsGoogle Workspace Labels**Symbol Programmable Labels **
GivenNameGivenNameFirst Name
SurnameFamilyNameLast Name
UserPrincipalNamePrimaryEmilEmail
JobTitlePrimaryOrganization- TitleTitle
DepartmentPrimaryOrganization- DepartmentDepartment

By using Entra ID or Google Workspace synchronization, administrators can manage user records more efficiently and ensure that training assignments remain aligned with users’ current roles and responsibilities. This integration reduces the need for manual updates, improves reporting accuracy, and supports a more efficient workflow for tracking training progress and compliance.

Overall, this streamlined user provisioning process enhances the effectiveness of Symbol’s Security Awareness Training programs while helping organizations maintain a stronger security posture through accurate, up-to-date user information
