Tutorial: Configure Jellyfish for automatic user provisioning

This tutorial describes the steps you need to perform in both Jellyfish and Microsoft Entra ID to configure automatic user provisioning. When configured, Microsoft Entra ID automatically provisions and deprovisions users to Jellyfish 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.

Supported capabilities

  • Create users in Jellyfish.
  • Remove users in Jellyfish when they do not require access anymore.
  • Keep user attributes synchronized between Microsoft Entra ID and Jellyfish.
  • Single sign-on to Jellyfish (recommended).

Prerequisites

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

Step 1: Plan your provisioning deployment

Step 2: Generate Credential for provisioning

  1. Login to the Jellyfish portal and navigate to Key Management > API Keys.

  2. Click on Generate New

  3. Search for the admin account created as part of the prerequisites and click Create. (Optionally) set an expiry, noting that the credential must be updated once expired.

  4. The API key will be downloaded, ensure that this key is kept safe as this will grant access to the user account it was generated for. It is recommended to delete the downloaded API key once user provisioning is configured.

Add Jellyfish from the Microsoft Entra application gallery to start managing provisioning to Jellyfish. If you have previously setup Jellyfish for SSO, you can use the same application. However it's recommended that you create a separate app when testing out the integration initially. 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. If you choose to scope who will be provisioned to your app based on assignment, you can use the following steps to assign users to the application. If you choose to scope who will be provisioned based solely on attributes of the user, you can use a scoping filter as described here.

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

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

Step 5: Configure automatic user provisioning to Jellyfish

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

To configure automatic user provisioning for Jellyfish 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 Jellyfish.

  4. Select the Provisioning tab.

  5. Set the Provisioning Mode to Automatic.

  6. In the Admin Credentials section, enter the Tenant Url which will be in the form of https://<organisation>.securesme.com. This will be the same address used to log in to the Jellyfish portal. For the Secret Token input the API key generated earlier in step 2. Then click on Authorize, make sure that you enter your Jellyfish account's Admin credentials. Click Test Connection to ensure Microsoft Entra ID can connect to Jellyfish. If the connection fails, ensure your Jellyfish account has Admin permissions and try again.

  7. In the Notification Email field, enter the email address of a person 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 Synchronize Microsoft Entra users to Jellyfish.

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

    Attribute Type Supported for filtering Required by Jellyfish
    userName String
    active Boolean
    title String
    emails[type eq "work"].value String
    name.givenName String
    name.familyName String
  11. To configure scoping filters, refer to the following instructions provided in the Scoping filter tutorial.

  12. To enable the Microsoft Entra provisioning service for Jellyfish, change the Provisioning Status to On in the Settings section.

  13. Define the users that you would like to provision to Jellyfish by choosing the desired values in Scope in the Settings section.

  14. When you're ready to provision, click Save.

This operation starts the initial synchronization cycle of all users 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:

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