JIT Entra ID Access

Connect Entra ID tenant

In this post we will see how you can connect Entra ID tenant to your idemeum customer tenant.

Create Entra ID application

  • Navigate to your idemeum customer tenant that you created with MSP admin portal, i.e. customer1-<msp-domain>.idemeum.com/adminportal
  • Access Applications and then choose Add app and then choose Managed password app
  • Now you will be able to set up Entra ID integration:
    • Give application a name, i.e. Entra ID - retail customer. This name will be shown to technicians when they access this application from web portal or browser extension.
    • Choose the application type to be Web
    • Choose Entra ID OIDC credentials
    • Click Authorize button. You will need to authenticate with Entra ID admin account and grant permissions to access Entra ID APIs. Once you successfully authorize access, there will be a green checkbox icon next to Authorize button, and we will show what account was used to authorize API access.
    • Choose how long you want the accounts to be enabled for before technicians need to request access again. The default time is 4 hours.
    • Enter the domain where you want idemeum to provision technician accounts
We only support managed domains (can be custom domains, or onmicrosoft.com domain). Today we do not support federated domains.
  • Choose the roles that you want to assign to accounts when they get created. You can choose from the Entra ID default built-in roles, and you can select multiple roles. The easiest is to assign the same role to all technicians using All admins attribute.
    • You can create groups in your MSP tenant, assign technicians to these groups and then define what group needs to be assigned to what role, i.e.Level 1 techs to be assigned Global admin role, Level 2 techs to be assigned User admin role, etc. More about the group creation below.
