About the Microsoft Entra ID Automation

With the Microsoft Entra ID automation, you can automatically import members and teams into your organization. Furthermore, you can define the organization role (collaborator or reader) the members will have once they're imported. 

With the Microsoft Entra ID automation, you can import members and teams and provide them with single sign-on (SSO) to Enalyzer.

Create the Microsoft Entra ID Automation

To add the Microsoft Entra ID automation, you have to:

  1. Go to the automations area and select Enalyzer.
  2. Click on the add automation button and choose Microsoft Entra ID.
  3. Log into your Microsoft account. You need to have admin rights to connect to Enalyzer.
  4. Enalyzer will request permission. Accept the request to proceed.
  5. You'll be sent back to Enalyzer where you have to map the fields by linking the variables from Microsoft Entra ID on the right to the organization member variables on the left. If there is a variable you don't want to map, select the skip option. Once you're done mapping, click next.
  6. Name your automation.
  7. Select the default organization role for imported members, i.e. the imported members will be given the selected role in your organization.
  8. If you want to import your Microsoft Entra ID team structure into your organization, enable the team synchronization setting. This means in the event of any subteams in Microsoft Entra ID, these will be added subteams in your organization.
  9. Finally, select the Microsoft Entra ID teams you want to import to your organization by searching for them. You decide which members you select for importing. When you're done, click next.
  10. You'll receive an overview of the number of members you're about to import. Click connect now to finish setting up your automation.
  11. You're done. The automation runs every 15 minutes, so it will continue to import new members from your Microsoft Entra ID.

You have to be an organization administrator to enable automation. Collaborators can create but not enable them.

If the automation owner stops being an organization administrator, the automation will be disabled automatically.

Require Microsoft Entra ID Login for Members

Organization administrators can enforce Entra ID log-in for members, ensuring that access to the organization's content is secure and controlled through Microsoft Entra ID.

To enable this setting, administrators must be logged into Enalyzer using Microsoft Entra ID. After that, all you have to do is:

  1. Go to the homepage and click on your organization.
  2. Click on settings on the side menu.
  3. Enable the require login with Microsoft Entra ID setting. The TenantID of the Microsoft Entra ID used by the administrator will be automatically added and cannot be removed.

The Microsoft Entra ID requirement will also be enforced in special login cases like Zapier.

Receive Error Notifications

You can set up email notifications for yourself and others to receive if your automation fails. To enable error notifications for you and others, you have to:

  1. Go to the automations area and select Enalyzer.
  2. Click on your automation, scroll down and enable email notifications.
  3. If you want to add your colleagues or other stakeholders, click on add recipient and enter their email. Your changes will be saved automatically.

Delete Automation

To delete your automation, you have to:

  1. Go to the automations area and select Enalyzer.
  2. Click on your automation, scroll down and click delete automation.

Deleting the automation does not delete the imported members or teams.

FAQs

  • No. Changing the default organization role in the automation will not change the role of the members that already have been imported, only those imported after the change.
  • Microsoft Entra ID uses a graph structure, whereas Enalyzer uses a tree structure. A graph structure works like a network model, where team relationships can be circular. A tree structure works like a hierarchical structure, therefore, Enalyzer transforms the network model into a hierarchy of teams and subteams.
