Can you limit user or group synchronization in Bold Reports®?
No. Bold Reports® cannot limit Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), Windows AD, and database user synchronization by count, such as 100 users. However, you can control whose details are synchronized.
How do I synchronize only specific users?
Bold Reports® lets you control the synchronization of specific users with Microsoft Entra ID, Windows AD, and Database Users synchronization. During synchronization, Bold Reports® lists the imported users. From this list, choose the users you need and click the Synchronize button at the top.
The following screenshot shows the Synchronize button above the list of imported users.

How do I synchronize only specific groups?
Bold Reports® lets you control the synchronization of specific groups with Microsoft Entra ID and Windows AD group synchronization. During synchronization, Bold Reports® lists the imported groups. From this list, choose the groups you need and click the Synchronize button at the top.
The following screenshot shows the Synchronize button above the list of imported groups.
To learn more, see synchronize groups.
Does group synchronization also synchronize the group members?
With the group synchronization option, the Bold Reports® server does not synchronize the users who are added to the group.
However, the server imports new users from the Microsoft Entra ID group to the Bold Reports® Report Server only when they are not already on the Report Server. It also removes a user from the Report Server group when that user is removed from the Azure AD group.
What happens after synchronization completes?
After synchronization completes, Bold Reports® shows the number of groups modified, deleted, and duplicated in a success message box, as shown in the following screenshot.
