Step 1: Set up account groups with default roles

To enable Azure Sync, the groups involved in the sync must have a default role. Each group can have only a single default role. The users synced to that group will be assigned to that role by default, and you or their managers can change that role manually later.

To designate a role as the default role, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Sign in to the admin portal
  2. Go to the Groups screen
  3. Select a group
  4. Click to edit
  5. Click in the Role(s) tab
  6. Click to edit a role
  7. Set the Default role toggle to active

  8. Save the role
  9. You should see a default text below the default role

 Only one role can be designated as the default role for each group if you try to designate a role as default in a group with a default role. You will see the following confirmation popup:

If you confirm and then save, the previous role will be unset as the default role.

Step 2: Set up Azure Entra App

  1. Access https://portal.azure.com
  2. Sign in with your account
  3. Search for Microsoft Entra ID and open the service
  4. Open the Manage menu and click on App registrations
  5. Click on the New registration button
  6. Give a name to your app and click the Register button
  7. Copy and save the following data somewhere (we will use it later):
    1. Application (client) ID
    2. Directory (tenant) ID
  8. Click on Certificates & secrets menu
  9. Click on New client secret
  10. Give it a Description and click the Add button
  11. Copy the Secret ID and save it somewhere (we will use it later)

Step 3: Create E3 groups on Azure Entra

  1. Click on the Groups menu
  2. You must create all groups in the following pattern: 

    E3_

Step 4: Assign users to groups on Azure

  1. Click on Users
  2. Select a user
  3. Click on Groups
  4. Click on Add memberships
  5. Select the E3 groups you want that user to have access on E3
  6. Click the Select button

Step 5: Ask E3 Team to manually enable Azure Sync

  1. Send the following data to DevSquad:
    1. Application (client) ID
    2. Directory (tenant) ID
    3. Secret ID
    4. Account Name (You can find it on E3 Admin Portal)
  2. DevSquad will activate the integration with Azure.
  3. Once the integration is activated you will see it on the Details screen:
  4. And on the Edit > Integrations screen:
