    Overview

    The Microsoft Entra (Azure) integration:

    IdP-initiated SSO (identity provider-initiated single sign-on)

    The user starts the login process from Azure (identity provider), then is automatically logged into R365.

    Organizations integrated with Microsoft Entra (Azure) for SSO will have an additional option to login with their Azure credentials in addition to their username and password.

    Microsoft Entra (Azure) Setup

    SSO configuration requires setup in both Microsoft Entra and in R365.

    Setup in Microsoft Entra

    In the Applications section of the Microsoft Entra admin center, an admin for Microsoft Entra will need to complete steps to add a new app integration.
