Group provisioning setup with Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD)

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to set up group provisioning in the NordPass Admin Panel with Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD).

 

Note: At the moment, only the Beta version of group provisioning is available. With Beta, you will be able to provision groups and users. The possibility to update and merge provisioned groups will be introduced with the next release.

Set up Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) Group Provisioning

To set up Group Provisioning, Entra ID user Provisioning should be already active. After User Provisioning is enabled, Encryption service needs to be set up. Encryption service provides the possibility for NordPass to keep the zero-knowledge architecture.

 

  1. Go to NordPass Admin Panel and log in.

  2. Go to Settings > Users & Group Provisioning. If you didn’t set up User Provisioning previously, follow this guide first and proceed to the next steps.

  3. Select Create Configuration.
