# Azure Users

You can see all Azure AD users and external users, and whether each user is allowed to use GuardWare PROTECT in the **Azure Users** section.

**To view Azure users:**

1. Go to **PROTECT > Azure Users**.

2. Use the following filters to refine results:

* **Is External**\
  Filter internal vs. external guest users.
* **Is Protect User**\
  Filter users who have PROTECT enabled or disabled.
* **Search**\
  Search by name, email, or UPN.

**User Table Details**

<table><thead><tr><th width="190">Name</th><th>Display name of the Azure AD user.</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>UPN</td><td>Azure User Principal Name.</td></tr><tr><td>Mail</td><td>Primary email address.</td></tr><tr><td>Is External</td><td>Shows if the user is an external/guest account.</td></tr><tr><td>Is Protect User</td><td>Shows if PROTECT is enabled for the user.</td></tr></tbody></table>

### **Sync AD Users**

The **Sync AD Users** button updates user and group information from Active Directory (AD) or Azure Active Directory. When you select this option, PROTECT connects to your directory service and retrieves the latest data, including new users, removed accounts, and updated group memberships.

This ensures that the Management Console always reflects the current status of your organisation’s users and helps apply security policies to the right people.

### Update Settings Version

The **Update Settings Version** button prompts PROTECT clients to automatically pull the newest configuration and push the latest settings to all connected devices.

This is useful when you have made changes to policies or settings and want them to take effect immediately in client devices, without waiting for the next automatic update.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.guardware.com/protect/users-and-devices/azure-users.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
