Automatically sync Salesforce Users with Azure Active Directory

Question

The Problem: We want to integrate Power BI with Salesforce for displaying advanced dashboards & visualizations to Community Users. Power BI requires all users/viewers to be registered in an Azure Active Directory before they can see the visualizations in a Visualforce page (in a Community). Since we could eventually have hundreds of Community users, it will be very inefficient to have to manually add them to the Azure Active Directory.

The Question: Does anybody know of an efficient way to synchronise Salesforce users with an Azure Active Directory? E.g. as soon as a new community user is created in Salesforce, a new listing is created for them in the Azure AD.

Thanks in advance!

Looks like this could be accomplished using a Graph API:
