# Sync Entra Groups to Admin Custom Groups
> Add Microsoft Entra groups as a user source for GoGuardian Admin Custom Groups to apply filtering policies to Entra-managed users at scale.
GoGuardian Admin supports syncing users from Microsoft Entra groups into Custom Groups, so you can apply filtering policies to Entra-managed users without manual entry. Microsoft Entra is a cloud-based identity service that manages user and group access.
Before syncing Entra groups to Custom Groups, connect Microsoft Entra to GoGuardian Org Management. See [Sync Groups with Microsoft Entra](/products/org-management/microsoft-entra-sync) for setup instructions.
## Sync an Entra Group to a New Custom Group
1. Go to [GoGuardian Admin](https://admin.goguardian.com) and navigate to **Filtering** > **Custom Groups**.
2. Click **Create Group**.
3. Enter a name in the **Name Group** field.
4. Select a policy from the **Assign Policy** menu.
5. In the **Add Users** section, click the **Sync Entra Groups (Formerly Azure)** tab.
6. Click the **Entra Groups** dropdown.
7. Select the checkbox for each Microsoft Entra group you want to sync.
8. Click **Create Group**.
The new Custom Group appears in your Custom Groups list and shows the number of synced users.
## Add Entra Groups to an Existing Custom Group
1. Go to [GoGuardian Admin](https://admin.goguardian.com) and navigate to **Filtering** > **Custom Groups**.
2. Click an existing group.
3. In the **Add Users** section, click the **Synced Entra Groups (Formerly Azure)** tab.
4. Click **Add Entra Groups**.
5. Select the checkbox for each Entra group you want to add.
6. Click **Sync Entra Group**.
## Remove Entra Groups from a Custom Group
1. Go to [GoGuardian Admin](https://admin.goguardian.com) and navigate to **Filtering** > **Custom Groups**.
2. Click an existing group.
3. In the **Add Users** section, click the **Synced Entra Groups (Formerly Azure)** tab.
4. Under **Synced Entra Groups**, click **Remove** next to the group you want to stop syncing.
5. Click **Remove Entra Group**.
Users from the removed Entra group are no longer filtered by this Custom Group's policies after the next daily sync at 7:00 PM PST. To stop filtering immediately, manually sync Microsoft Entra in Org Management.
## Frequently Asked Questions
**When do Microsoft Entra groups sync?**
Entra groups sync automatically every day at 7:00 PM PST. To sync immediately, go to [Org Management](https://manage.goguardian.com) and navigate to **Configuration** > **Data Sources** > **Integrations** > **Microsoft Entra (Formerly Azure)** > **Sync Microsoft Entra**.
**Can I add users manually to a synced Custom Group?**
No. Adding users manually to a Custom Group that is sourced from an Entra group is not supported. To add individual students, add them to the Entra group in Microsoft Entra. They will appear in the Custom Group after the next sync.
