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:
- Sign in to the admin portal
- Go to the Groups screen
- Select a group
- Click to edit
- Click in the Role(s) tab
- Click to edit a role
- Set the Default role toggle to active
- Save the role
- 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
- Access https://portal.azure.com
- Sign in with your account
- Search for Microsoft Entra ID and open the service
- Open the Manage menu and click on App registrations
- Click on the New registration button
- Give a name to your app and click the Register button
- Copy and save the following data somewhere (we will use it later):
- Application (client) ID
- Directory (tenant) ID
- Click on Certificates & secrets menu
- Click on New client secret
- Give it a Description and click the Add button
- Copy the Secret ID and save it somewhere (we will use it later)
Step 3: Create E3 groups on Azure Entra
- Click on the Groups menu
- You must create all groups in the following pattern:
E3_
Step 4: Assign users to groups on Azure
- Click on Users
- Select a user
- Click on Groups
- Click on Add memberships
- Select the E3 groups you want that user to have access on E3
- Click the Select button
Step 5: Ask E3 Team to manually enable Azure Sync
- Send the following data to DevSquad:
- Application (client) ID
- Directory (tenant) ID
- Secret ID
- Account Name (You can find it on E3 Admin Portal)
- DevSquad will activate the integration with Azure.
- Once the integration is activated you will see it on the Details screen:
- And on the Edit > Integrations screen:
- You can click the Sync Now button to sync the users. However, the users will be synced every day at 0:00 am.
