I would like to sync GSuite passwords/accounts with onsite Active Directory accounts. I know there is a tool to sync passwords from Active Directory to GSuite, but my organization would like the ability to create/manage users in GSuite and then sync them TO Active Directory or Azure Active Directory. Does anyone know of a tool/platform that allows that type of integration?
There is no ready-made tool to meet your needs currently.
GCDS can sync the AD users to GSuite. But you need a reverse.
We can sync GSuite users to AD by following:
Export the users from GSuite to a csv file.
Use PowerShell to create/update the Users in AD from a csv file.
Configure GCPS to sync AD users' passwords back up to GSuite.
But after you manage the users in GSuite, you need to perform the above steps on a regular basis.
I know this is not a good way. What I want to say is that your needs are still not implemented at this stage.

I'm trying to setup a user lifecycle flow that will allow me to create an Azure Active Directory user (Member, not Guest) when an employee is created in our HRIS tool (HiBob). There is a pre-existing integration which is enabled and allows us to get basic information (name, location, etc.).
In the HRIS system we also store some more unique data that I would like to be added to the users AAD profile (maybe an emergency contact for example) that we can then use to provision other applications (like Slack).
My issue is trying to create these custom property fields. I have read about Azure B2C as well as directory schema, custom security extensions and using MS Graph. None of these seem to be totally relevant to my situation.
FYI we are fully cloud, so Azure AD Connect is also not an option.
To store custom data in Azure AD objects such as users you can leverage Azure AD Directory Extensions in tandem with Azure AD Provisioning trough SCIM.
Sometimes you ask yourself a question and cannot answer or google the answer.
Question:
Is there any way to turn a single "on-premises mastered Directory Sync objects", to a "cloud mastered object"? Specificly a user account.
Can I revert this if I try with a real account?
And the major question: Thoughts about the consequences?
Background:
We move more and more processes to the cloud and I am beginning to "feel the need" for changing this. So I want to investigate the consequenses of changing, what breaks and what makes the change (if possible).
We have:
Office365 (mail,sharepoint, etc), onprem ADFS, AzureAD Sync. I am most worried about ADFS, since the account must be able to authenticate onprem. ~20.000 users and a applications onprem of all sorts.
As you aware in synced identities objects are mastered in our on-premise AD structure and cannot change it. If we need to make changes and edits to any of our users, this needs to be made on our on-premises AD structure. Once those changes are made, Azure AD Connect will then synchronize those up to Azure AD, and you'll see those changes after the next synchronization run.
Mostly Azure AD Connect assumes you start with a new Azure AD tenant and that there are no users or other objects there. But if you have started with an Azure AD tenant, populated it with users and other objects, and now want to use Connect, then kindly check this link.
If users once synced with Azure AD Connect Cloud Provisioning can be moved to synchronization via Forest trust without having to remove and re-add the users?
Cloud provisioning can be used to sync from multiple Active Directory forests. In the multi-forest environment, all the references (example, manager) need to be within the domain. Users and groups must be represented only once across all forests.
Kindly check the document for Azure AD connect cloud provisioning supported topologies to get detailed information about this
My problem is that we have 2 On-Premises Active Directory domains:
mycompany.com
mycompany-dev.com
Some people are present in both of these AD-s. I want to sync them with Azure Active Directory so that they are all represented once, and all have the #mycompany.com suffix (instead of #mycompany.onmicrosoft.com). I also don't want some users to have #mycompany-dev.com in their azure AD account login name, so I want to do some sort of mapping I guess.
Is this possible with Azure AD Connect, or do I have to implement a synchronization method manually?
You can sync multiple on-premises domain to Azure AD. Kindly check the link and you will get a detailed information about different topologies supported
I found it's possible to sync users/groups from Azure AD to local App though SCIM. But it seems not available in local AD, and seems not available in ADFS.
How I can sync from local AD, or is there any tools I can use?
You would need a SCIM Product which you can create yourself or Purchase from several vendors.
Assuming you wish to take entries out of your local Microsoft Active Directory and "SCIM Them" into something else, you would probably want a SCIM Client and then put them into your SCIM Service Provider.
You would need to use something to get the entries out of Microsoft Active Directory and then use SCIM to put them into ???.
You could also use the Microsoft DirSync Control using LDAP
There are many IDM vendors that create product with this functionality.
