Tutorial: Microsoft Entra integration with SpaceIQ

  • Alt

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to integrate SpaceIQ with Microsoft Entra ID. When you integrate SpaceIQ with Microsoft Entra ID, you can:

  • Control in Microsoft Entra ID who has access to SpaceIQ.
  • Enable your users to be automatically signed-in to SpaceIQ with their Microsoft Entra accounts.
  • Manage your accounts in one central location.

Prerequisites

To configure Microsoft Entra integration with SpaceIQ, you need the following items:

  • A Microsoft Entra subscription. If you don't have a Microsoft Entra environment, you can get a free account.
  • SpaceIQ single sign-on enabled subscription.

Scenario description

In this tutorial, you configure and test Microsoft Entra single sign-on in a test environment.

Note

Identifier of this application is a fixed string value so only one instance can be configured in one tenant.

To configure the integration of SpaceIQ into Microsoft Entra ID, you need to add SpaceIQ from the gallery to your list of managed SaaS apps.

  1. Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least a Cloud Application Administrator.
  2. Browse to Identity > Applications > Enterprise applications > New application.
  3. In the Add from the gallery section, type SpaceIQ in the search box.
  4. Select SpaceIQ from results panel and then add the app. Wait a few seconds while the app is added to your tenant.

Alternatively, you can also use the Enterprise App Configuration Wizard. In this wizard, you can add an application to your tenant, add users/groups to the app, assign roles, as well as walk through the SSO configuration as well. Learn more about Microsoft 365 wizards.
