Overview
Microsoft Entra ID is the new name for the Azure Active Directory connector.
Our Microsoft Entra ID (Formerly Microsoft Azure Active Directory) integration uses a dedicated Entra ID connector for accessing and maintaining Microsoft 365 groups and users.
We use SCIM protocols to connect to your Entra ID tenant using REST APIs.
Account in Entra ID
IDHub pulls all Entra ID user account information from your tenant. Features like full account reconciliation, recent changes reconciliation, new user creation, update user account, enable/disable users, set passwords, add/remove entitlements (user licenses, user group memberships, user roles etc) are done in IDHub
User Account attribute we fetch includes (but not limited to):
- User Principal Name (As a unique identifier)
- First Name
- Last Name

- Job Title
Our customers can choose to fetch any other attributes apart from the above as per their individual needs. With our Attribute based Access Control (ABAC), you can decide which information will be used on new user creation and which ones on user modifications.
Entitlements in Entra ID
IDHub Entra ID Connector pulls these types of entitlement from Entra ID tenant for provisioning and de-provisioning.
- Entra ID Groups
- Entra ID Roles
- Entra ID Licenses
Employees of your organization can request for these entitlements as needed.
Entra ID Groups
Also as part of Microsoft Entra ID connector, we establish connection with your tenant to fetch all Entra ID groups. For Microsoft Teams (which are treated as Entra ID Groups) have their specific roles that can be assigned to an individual as well.
Users require to pick role(s) as desired while requesting for a Microsoft Team. These roles are very specific to the team and as designed by Entra ID. Supported operations are:

These roles cannot be customized currently as this is created in your Entra ID Instance.
Upon completion of approvals based on request workflow defined by you on a particular group, the users will automatically get access to the requested group in the desired role (Member/Owner) by our automated fulfillment.
