Integration of Entra ID for user provisioning, single sign-on, and Outlook integration

You can connect Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) to essentry to integrate user management and calendar-based guest invitations into your existing Microsoft environment.

Connecting Entra ID enables the following use cases:

  • User synchronization and single sign-on (SSO)
    Synchronize employees from Entra ID and allow them to log in to the essentry dashboard (app.essentry.com) using their Microsoft credentials.

  • Outlook calendar integration
    Synchronize meeting invitations from Outlook with essentry. This is ideal for employees who do not use the essentry dashboard and prefer to create guest invitations directly in Outlook.

After connecting Entra ID, you can decide which of these integrations you would like to activate.

Connecting Entra ID to essentry
