Restore Entra ID objects

2. Select the domain that contains the objects you would like to restore from the drop-down in the top-left corner.
3. To filter for objects, simply click one of the tiles. The options include Total Objects, Total Users, Total Groups, and Total Devices. To filter for other objects, use the Object Type drop-down in the table below.

Deleted Objects

This section allows you to review the attributes of deleted Entra objects and restore them to the last known versions before the objects were deleted. This feature in RecoveryManager Plus is not related to the native Entra ID Recycle Bin.

Entra ID lets you set a retention period for the deleted objects. This prevents the objects from being permanently deleted for the set duration. Once the objects have exceeded the retention period, they will be permanently purged from Entra ID's Recycle Bin. RecoveryManager Plus allows you to restore objects that are in Entra ID's Recycle Bin or even those that have been permanently removed from Entra ID's Recycle Bin.

To restore deleted Entra Objects:

1. Navigate to Entra ID tab > Entra Objects > Quick Recovery > Deleted Objects.
2. Select the domain that contains the deleted objects you would like to restore from the drop-down in the top-left corner.
3. To filter for objects, simply click one of the tiles. The options include Total Deleted Objects, Deleted Users, Deleted Groups, and Deleted Devices. To filter for other objects, use the Object Type drop-down in the table below.
4. Click Restore Location to choose a location for the objects to be restored to. If no location is selected, the objects will be restored to their original location where it was deleted.
5. Click a link in the Backup Version field in the table to review the attributes and the values of the objects that will be restored.
6. Check the box against the object(s) that you wish to restore and click Restore.

Note: If you have configured RecoveryManager Plus with a service account instead of a domain administrator account, you'll be prompted to provide the credentials of a user who can write to Entra ID . If the account used to configure RecoveryManager Plus can write to Entra ID, select Use default domain credential and click Yes. If not, unselect Use default domain credential, provide the credentials of a user who can write to Entra ID, and click Yes.
