Tutorial: Configure Webroot Security Awareness Training for automatic user provisioning

This tutorial describes the steps you need to perform in both Webroot Security Awareness Training and Microsoft Entra ID to configure automatic user provisioning. When configured, Microsoft Entra ID automatically provisions and de-provisions users and groups to Webroot Security Awareness Training using the Microsoft Entra provisioning service. For important details on what this service does, how it works, and frequently asked questions, see Automate user provisioning and deprovisioning to SaaS applications with Microsoft Entra ID.

Capabilities supported

• Create users in Webroot Security Awareness Training
• Remove users in Webroot Security Awareness Training when they do not require access anymore
• Keep user attributes synchronized between Microsoft Entra ID and Webroot Security Awareness Training
• Provision groups and group memberships in Webroot Security Awareness Training

Prerequisites

The scenario outlined in this tutorial assumes that you already have the following prerequisites:

• A Microsoft Entra tenant
• One of the following roles: Application Administrator, Cloud Application Administrator, or Application Owner.
• A Managed Service Provider Console with Webroot Security Awareness Training enabled for at least one of your sites.

Step 1: Plan your provisioning deployment

1. Learn about how the provisioning service works.
2. Determine who will be in scope for provisioning.
3. Determine what data to map between Microsoft Entra ID and Webroot Security Awareness Training.

Step 2: Configure Webroot Security Awareness Training to support provisioning with Microsoft Entra ID

Obtain a secret token

To connect your site to Microsoft Entra ID, you will need to obtain a Secret Token for that site in the Webroot management console.

1. Sign into your Webroot management console

2. From the Sites tab, click the gear icon in the Security Awareness Training column for the site you wish to connect with Microsoft Entra ID.

   

3. Click the button to Configure Microsoft Entra Integration.

   

4. Copy and save the Secret Token. This value will be entered in the Secret Token field in the Provisioning tab of your Webroot Security Awareness Training application.

5. Click Done.

   

Step 3: Add Webroot Security Awareness Training from the Microsoft Entra application gallery

Add Webroot Security Awareness Training from the Microsoft Entra application gallery to start managing provisioning to Webroot Security Awareness Training. Learn more about adding an application from the gallery here.

Step 4: Define who will be in scope for provisioning

The Microsoft Entra provisioning service allows you to scope who will be provisioned based on assignment to the application and or based on attributes of the user / group. If you choose to scope who will be provisioned to your app based on assignment, you can use the following steps to assign users and groups to the application. If you choose to scope who will be provisioned based solely on attributes of the user or group, you can use a scoping filter as described here.

• Start small. Test with a small set of users and groups before rolling out to everyone. When scope for provisioning is set to assigned users and groups, you can control this by assigning one or two users or groups to the app. When scope is set to all users and groups, you can specify an attribute based scoping filter.

• If you need additional roles, you can update the application manifest to add new roles.

Step 5: Configure automatic user provisioning to Webroot Security Awareness Training

This section guides you through the steps to configure the Microsoft Entra provisioning service to create, update, and disable users and/or groups in TestApp based on user and/or group assignments in Microsoft Entra ID.

To configure automatic user provisioning for Webroot Security Awareness Training in Microsoft Entra ID:

1. Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least a Cloud Application Administrator.

2. Browse to Identity > Applications > Enterprise applications

   

3. In the applications list, select Webroot Security Awareness Training.

   

4. Select the Provisioning tab.

   

5. Set the Provisioning Mode to Automatic.

   

6. Under the Admin Credentials section, input https://awarenessapi.webrootanywhere.com/api/v2/scim in Tenant URL. Input the secret token value retrieved earlier in Secret Token. Click Test Connection to ensure Microsoft Entra ID can connect to Webroot Security Awareness Training. If the connection fails, ensure your Webroot Security Awareness Training account has Admin permissions and try again.

   

7. In the Notification Email field, enter the email address of a person or group who should receive the provisioning error notifications and select the Send an email notification when a failure occurs check box.

   

8. Select Save.

9. Under the Mappings section, select Provision Microsoft Entra users.

10. Review the user attributes that are synchronized from Microsoft Entra ID to Webroot Security Awareness Training in the Attribute-Mapping section. The attributes selected as Matching properties are used to match the user accounts in Webroot Security Awareness Training for update operations. If you choose to change the matching target attribute, you will need to ensure that the Webroot Security Awareness Training API supports filtering users based on that attribute. Select the Save button to commit any changes.

    Attribute	Type	Supported for filtering
    userName	String	✓
    externalId	String
    name.givenName	String
    name.familyName	String
    emails[type eq "work"].value	String

11. Under the Mappings section, select Provision Microsoft Entra groups.

12. Review the group attributes that are synchronized from Microsoft Entra ID to Webroot Security Awareness Training in the Attribute-Mapping section. The attributes selected as Matching properties are used to match the groups in Webroot Security Awareness Training for update operations. Select the Save button to commit any changes.

    Attribute	Type	Supported for filtering
    displayName	String	✓
    members	Reference
    externalId	String

13. To configure scoping filters, refer to the following instructions provided in the Scoping filter tutorial.

14. To enable the Microsoft Entra provisioning service for Webroot Security Awareness Training, change the Provisioning Status to On in the Settings section.

    

15. Define the users and/or groups that you would like to provision to Webroot Security Awareness Training by choosing the desired values in Scope in the Settings section.

    

16. When you are ready to provision, click Save.

    

This operation starts the initial synchronization cycle of all users and groups defined in Scope in the Settings section. The initial cycle takes longer to perform than subsequent cycles, which occur approximately every 40 minutes as long as the Microsoft Entra provisioning service is running.

Step 6: Monitor your deployment

Once you've configured provisioning, use the following resources to monitor your deployment:

1. Use the provisioning logs to determine which users have been provisioned successfully or unsuccessfully
2. Check the progress bar to see the status of the provisioning cycle and how close it is to completion
3. If the provisioning configuration seems to be in an unhealthy state, the application will go into quarantine. Learn more about quarantine states here.
