About the End Users Subtab
Table of Contents
End Users are the specific people who are part of a (Customer) Organization you're supporting.
Adding Contacts/End Users in Syncro helps you maintain great relationships. You can set which types of communications each End User/Contact receives, and even store unique information for them (using Custom Fields).
The End Users subtab is part of the new End User Management feature that is currently in EA (Early Access). Click here to participate.
Notes:
- To see Microsoft-related information about Contacts/End Users, you must have previously integrated with Microsoft/mapped Syncro Tenants and set up Microsoft Entra ID User Sync.
- Customers are in the process of being renamed to (Customer) Organizations, and Contacts to End Users. You may see both in Syncro for the time being.
- If you want to import Contacts/End Users into Syncro instead, see Import or Export Existing Contacts/End Users.
Best Practices
In Syncro, a Contact/End User’s email may be recognized and matched to a Ticket and/or used to track Assets. A Contact/End User's email address is also necessary for End User Portal access. In the case of Portal access, Syncro will prompt you to enter the email if you forget.
If a Contact/End User shares an email with a (Customer) Organization (or across other Organizations), this can lead to imperfect matching when Syncro converts an email into a ticket. So while it's possible to have two Contacts/End Users with the same email, it's a good idea to be sure they're associated with different (Customer) Organizations.
Navigate to the End Users Subtab
To see the list of existing End Users for a given (Customer) Organization, follow these steps:
- Navigate to the Organizations tab. Any existing Organizations appear in the table.
- Click the hyperlinked name of an Organization to open its Details Page.
Tip: If you've set up Entra ID User Sync, Global Admins will also see a timestamp for the last sync between Microsoft and Syncro Tenants (e.g. “34m ago”) to the right of the Organization name. Click the “Manage” link to navigate to the associated Syncro Tenant Details page. - Select the "End Users" subtab. Any existing End Users appear in the table.

Tip: To customize the End Users table, click the vertical ellipsis () icon that appears when you hover over any column header. You can then choose to Hide that specific column, or open the Manage Columns box, from which you fully customize which columns display.

Delete an End User
If you have not integrated Syncro with Microsoft (or the End Users created during a sync were incorrect), follow these steps to delete existing End Users:
- Select the Organizations tab. Any existing Organizations appear in the table.
- Click the hyperlinked name of an Organization to open its Details Page.
- Select the "End Users" subtab. Any existing End Users appear in the table.
- Click a row in the table to navigate to that End User Details Page. Then click the Actions button menu and select “Delete.”
- Confirm your choice in the pop-up window to delete the End User.
Notes:
- If you've integrated Syncro with Microsoft and you delete an End User following these steps, it's possible that the End User could reappear in Syncro on the next sync (depending on how you've configured your sync filters). If you truly want to remove an End User, be sure to disable them in Microsoft. Then fix your user sync filters and delete the End User from Syncro. Then, they won't re-appear after the next sync.
- If the end user is re-added on a new sync, any Custom Field values will need to be re-entered.
