Here is an example of the description-

Account created by Microsoft Azure Active Directory Connect with installation identifier ‘5df8955cc2f945e6ac416ae4da2e0558’ running on computer ‘DIRSYNC-SERVER-NAME’ configured to synchronize to tenant abc.onmicrosoft.com. This account must have directory replication permissions in the local Active Directory and write permission on certain attributes to enable Hybrid Deployment.
