Notes

1. Entra ID provides extensible connectivity for App Provisioning (SCIM), and now also supports an inbound provisioning model (API-driven - in Public Preview as of Feb 2024), but it is important to understand the inherent limitations of both.  In particular, SCIM supports a limited schema model and does not support write-back to Entra ID, and for inherent limitations the API-driven model see Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about API-driven inbound provisioning - Microsoft Entra ID | Microsoft Learn.
2. Entra ID delta sync frequency default is 3 hourly. While changes are possible, increasing frequency can be expected to result in a performance impact.
3. See Known Limitations | On-demand provisioning in Microsoft Entra ID when performing individual syncs.
4. Entra ID thresholds can only be configured for deletions - see Enable accidental deletions prevention in the Microsoft Entra provisioning service - Microsoft Entra ID | Microsoft Learn
