Using the integration server

The integration server supports your use of a hybrid environment – one that uses a combination of on-premises administrative management and cloud-based service and subscription management. The integration server periodically processes data files that you create and upload by using a secure file transfer mechanism to add, modify, and remove user provisioning and group integration information. This enables you to continue to use your on-premises management systems and periodically upload user and group information.

Integrating initial and changed content from your on-premises administrative environment is facilitated through your organization's subscription to the integration server service and by properly named and formatted change files that you periodically create and upload.
