Synchronizing users using Entra ID

Overview

Integration between cloud-based applications demands a robust administration of identities for their authentication. Apart from the authentication protocols you may use, it is important to centralize the information of users to ease identity management and reduce the redundancy of information.

 

Active Directories have been a common approach to centralize information of users within organizations. However, a variety of cloud-based applications has exposed a challenge at managing identities when applications are run in different domains.

 

Bizagi now offers an integration with Azure Active Directory (Entra ID) using the System for Cross-domain Identity Management protocol (SCIM). This protocol provides a REST API that lets Entra ID Administrators managing user identities in Bizagi and be able to Create, Read, or Delete users in the WFUser table through this service. This integration permits centralization of user administration without third-party applications, reducing failure points, and increasing the governance of multiple cloud-based applications used in organizations. The protocol relies on commercial authentication, authorization, and privacy models, which makes this integration flexible for our Bizagi cloud-offer customers.

 

User synchronization can be done in either the Work Portal or the Customer Portal. Both approaches require you to configure settings within these Bizagi portals, as well as in Entra ID.
