SSO with Microsoft Entra ID (Azure Active Directory)

The OpsLevel Single Sign-On authentication method can be used with your organization’s existing Microsoft Entra ID (Entra ID) identity provider by configuring a SAML integration. Below are the detailed steps on how to get started using Entra ID and OpsLevel's SAML.

Requirements

To configure SSO, you need:

• A Microsoft Entra ID tenant.
• A user account in Microsoft Entra ID with permission to configure provisioning (for example, Application Administrator, Cloud Application administrator, Application Owner, or Global Administrator).
• An OpsLevel account -- SCIM-based user provisioning is available to all customers of OpsLevel at this time..
• A user account in OpsLevel with an Admin role.

Setting up the Entra ID Application

Note: You will need access to your SAML Endpoint URL located in the Authentication Method section of your OpsLevel Account Settings. Only admin users will have access to this section

Create a new Enterprise Application in the Microsoft Entra Admin Center

To set up the Entra ID SAML application for OpsLevel, first:

1. Sign in to the Microsoft Entra Admin Center portal.

2. In the left sidebar Enterprise Applications and then select All Applications.
