    SMS with Microsoft Entra ID - Azure Active Directory

    Do you currently have a large user database in your Azure Active Directory you can benefit from the integration between Azure Active Directory (henceforth AD) and SureSMS.

    With the integration, you can ensure that all recipients are automatically synchronized with the users in your AD. This means that if, for example, a user is deleted in your AD because they leave the company, they are automatically removed from the user list in SureSMS. Once you've set it up, you don't have to think about it anymore. It also means that when you add users in your AD, they are automatically added to the user list in SureSMS dashboarded.

     

    Pay attention to ....

    There are a few things you should be aware of before you start creating an SMS AD integration with SureSMS.

    GDPR

    The first is that SureSMS must have read access to your AD. We need read access to people, groups and the relationship between them. This means that we now start processing data for you and thus, incomply with GDPR, have a data processing agreement.

    You need to make a data processing agreement with SureSMS to get started.

    Phone numbers

    The phone numbers we need to send to must be in your AD. In order for us to send SMS to a person, we need to know their phone number. Therefore, if you don't have phone numbers in your AD, either get it or don't do an integration.

    We read the phone numbers such that we first read if there is a number in the "Phonenumber" field. If it doesn't, we read in "Company phonenumbers". The last one is a list and here we take the first number we come across.

    Deleting contacts

    The integration is a "one-way" integration. This means that we only read from AD. We never write to AD. So, for example, if you delete a person in SureSMS, they will only come back if they are still in AD. It's always AD that has the correct data.

    The price of AD integration

    The price for an SMS AD integration is 99,- per month.

     

    How to set up your AD/Entra ID integration

    This section first describes how to set up AzureAD so that SureSMS can read from it. It then describes how to set up SureSMS to read and create contacts in the SureSMS address book.

    Setting up Azure AD

    1. Login to your Azure Dashboard (https://portal.azure.com)
    2. Select Microsoft Entra ID
    MIcrosoft Entra ID

    3) Click "App registration". If you do not have an application registered already, click "New registration" and give it a name and an account type. The name can for example be SureSMS.

    Azure-Active-Directory-02

    4. Now save the Application (client) Id and Directory (tenant) id.

    Azure-Active-Directory-03

     

    5. From the left column, select "Certificates & Secrets" and create a new client secret for your application.
    Azure-Active-Directory-04

     

    Remember to note the "Value" when you create. This value can only be read right after you have created it. It cannot be recreated. The value must be used in the "Client secret" field in the SureSMS integration.

     

    6. To grant the new App API access, click "API Permissions" in the left column. Then click "Add a permission".

    Azure-Active-Directory-05

    7. Select "Microsoft Graph" as the type of permission and click on "Application Permissions". The following permissions are then added:

    User.Read.All
    Group.Read.All
    GroupMember.Read.All

    8. Next, click on "Grant admin consent for the Default Directory" located just to the right of "Add a permission"
