Starting with [Entra Connect build 1.4.###.#](/entra/identity/hybrid/connect/reference-connect-accounts-permissions), Enterprise Admin and Domain Admin accounts can no longer be used as the AD DS Connector account. This best practice prevents over-privileging the connector account, reducing the risk of domain-wide compromise if the account is targeted by attackers. Organizations must now create or assign a lower-privileged account specifically for directory synchronization, ensuring better adherence to the principle of least privilege and protecting critical admin accounts.
