Hi all! This is a two part question. I appreciate all and any response!

  1. I am wondering how Azure will connect to both on-premises and cloud AD's. We are currently more on-premises but would like to start switching over to cloud. I want to ensure our security, auditing, and privacy, so I am curious on ways to do this?
  2. I am looking to see if Microsoft Entra has SSO for these applications: Power BI, Tagetik, One Stream, Microsoft Dynamics, Sage 50, Sage 100, Oracle, QuickBooks, and Global Shop. These are some softwares and ERPs that we currently use and would need to connect to Entra/Azure.

Thank you!

    Hi @Ella Stern

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Q&A.

    1. You would start by first synchronizing your user accounts from on-prem AD to Azure AD. Once this is done, users can use the same credentials to login to their on-prem and SaaS / Cloud based applications. There are two options for this "Azure AD Cloud Sync" and "Azure AD Connect Sync". We have a doc here which can help you decide which one is right for your company - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/hybrid/whatis-hybrid-identity
    2. First party Microsoft apps such as Power BI, Stream, Dynamics etc.. with have SSO out of the box. 3rd Party apps would need some extra configuration. Most have templates ready to use but if not its also possible to set them up manually. We have some guidelines on this here - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/manage-apps/what-is-application-management

    Do let me know if you have any further questions, I would be happy to help!

    One more question to go off the original response. When setting up other third-party services manually. Would that group just be connected manually once then we can automate the process of connecting/providing access to others after? Thanks
