    SMS integration to AD (Microsoft Entra ID - Azure Active Directory)<\/h1>\t\n\t\t\t\t\"Azure\n

    \n\t\tWhat is Entra ID also known as Active Directory?\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

    Microsoft Entra ID, formerly known as Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), is a cloud-based identity and access management service from Microsoft. This service helps organizations manage and secure user access to applications and data across a modern hybrid IT infrastructure. By using Microsoft Entra ID, organizations can offer single sign-on (SSO) and multi-factor authentication to protect user identities and improve security. The integration with Microsoft Entra ID and your Active Directory (AD) makes it possible to synchronize and manage identities centrally, simplifying user management and access control. This is essential for organizations that want efficient and secure access management.<\/p>\n\t\t

    SMS with Microsoft Entra ID - Azure Active Directory<\/h2>

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

    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.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n\t\t

    Pay attention to ....<\/h2>

    There are a few things you should be aware of before you start creating an SMS AD integration with SureSMS.<\/p>\n

    GDPR<\/h4>\n

    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<\/a>, have a data processing agreement.<\/p>\n

    You need to make a data processing agreement with SureSMS to get started.<\/em><\/p>\n

    Phone numbers<\/h4>\n

    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.<\/p>\n

    We read the phone numbers so 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.<\/p>\n

    Deleting contacts<\/h4>\n

    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.<\/p>\n\t\t

    The price of AD integration<\/h3>

    The price for an SMS AD integration is 99,- per month.<\/p>\n

    \n\t\tHow to set up your AD\/Entra ID integration \n\t<\/h2>\n\t

    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.<\/p>\n

    \n\t\tSetting up Azure AD\n\t<\/h3>\n\t
      \t\n
    1. Login to your Azure Dashboard (https:\/\/portal.azure.com<\/a>)<\/li>\n\n
    2. Select Microsoft Entra ID<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\t\t\t\t\"MIcrosoft\n\t

      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.<\/p>\n

      \"Azure-Active-Directory-02\"<\/p>\n

      4. Now save the Application (client) Id and Directory (tenant) id.<\/p>\n

      \"Azure-Active-Directory-03\"<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

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

       <\/p>\n

      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.<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      6. To grant the new App API access, click \"API Permissions\" in the left column. Then click \"Add a permission\".<\/p>\n

      \"Azure-Active-Directory-05\"<\/p>\n

      7. Select \"Microsoft Graph\" as the type of permission and click on \"Application Permissions\". The following permissions are then added:<\/p>\n

      User.Read.All
      Group.Read.All
      GroupMember.Read.All<\/p>\n

      8. Next, click on \"Grant admin consent for the Default Directory\" located just to the right of \"Add a permission\"<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      \"Azure-Active-Directory-06\"<\/p>\n

      You have now finished setting up in Azure Active Directory.<\/p>\n
