Connect Microsoft Entra ID

Connect Microsoft Entra ID as an Identity Provider in Apiable. Enter a Connection Name, Tenant ID or Domain, Client ID, and Secret, then assign it to companies.

You connect Microsoft Entra ID as an Identity Provider under Integrations → Identity Providers. You give the connection a name, enter your tenant or domain, the app registration's client ID and secret, then save and assign it to the companies whose users should sign in through it.

Where do you connect Microsoft Entra ID?

Open Integrations → Identity Providers, start a new connection, and select Microsoft Entra ID. The select screen is headed Authentication Providers and has Microsoft Entra ID selected by default.

  1. Open Integrations → Identity Providers.
  2. Start a new connection. The select screen, headed Authentication Providers, lists the provider types.
  3. Select Microsoft Entra ID if it is not already selected, then continue to connect.
  4. The connection opens on the Authorization tab, where you enter the credentials.

What does each Microsoft Entra ID field mean?

The Authorization tab asks for a connection name and the app registration's details. Required fields are marked. Enter them, then save.

FieldWhat to enter
Connection NameA label for this connection inside Apiable. Required.
Tenant ID or DomainYour Entra ID tenant ID or a verified domain. The field detects which you typed and shows a Tenant or Domain tag next to it.
Client IDThe application (client) ID of the app registration Apiable uses. Required.
SecretThe client secret for that app registration. Entered as a masked password.

How do you set the display name, icon, and display mode?

Open the Details tab. Set a Display Name for the sign-in button, upload a Display Icon, and pick a Display Mode of Standalone or Grouped. These control how the provider appears on your portal login screen.

A Standalone provider gets its own button on the login screen, showing its display name and icon. A Grouped provider is reached through one shared SSO button instead. See Identity Providers for how each mode looks to the consumer.

How do you assign companies and force SSO?

Open the Assignment tab, which unlocks after you save the provider. Turn on assign all companies or pick specific ones, set Force SSO if those users must use the provider, then save the assignment.

  1. Save the connection from the Authorization tab. The Assignment tab is disabled until the provider exists.
  2. On Assignment, either toggle assign all companies on, or leave it off and select companies from the searchable list.
  3. Toggle Force SSO on to remove password sign-in for those users, or leave it off to keep password as a fallback.
  4. Save the assignment with the button on the tab.

How do you activate the provider?

Use the Active toggle above the tabs. With it on and the provider assigned to at least one company, that company's users see the Entra ID sign-in option on the portal login screen.

When a covered user signs in, the portal redirects them to Microsoft Entra ID to authenticate, then back to your portal. If Force SSO is on for their company, the portal does not offer them a password option.

Troubleshooting

Match what you see to the fix. Connection-level errors surface in your dashboard; sign-in behavior shows on the portal login screen.
