We are using Azure AD for our authentication method. We have a sync that automatically runs every hour. How do we manage the user that the automated sync connects as?
We are using Guard and are syncing the users and groups from Azure AD. The Sync process runs in the background. How do I change the user that authenticates to Azure to synchronize those users and groups via the automated process?

Great! Guard the normal way of doing this so plenty of documentation there.
Provisioning from Entra ID to Atlassian doesn't really use a specific user. To configure the synchronisation, a enterprise app was configured in your Azure portal.
Part of that configuration generates several id's/client/secret/.. which are entered in the identity provider configuration on the atlassian admin hub.
In return, Guard generates an API token which is entered in the Azure app. This sets up the sync.
So in short, no real user is used to sync but it runs through an enterprise app.
That all makes sense and was how I thought it worked. However, when the Entra admin downgraded my permissions in Entra, the automated sync stopped working. When he restored my permissions, the sync started working. Which leads me to believe that somewhere, my id is tied to the sync.
