  • Стаття

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

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

Prerequisites

To get started, you need the following items:

  • ScreenSteps single sign-on (SSO) enabled subscription.

Scenario description

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

To configure the integration of ScreenSteps into Microsoft Entra ID, you need to add ScreenSteps 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 ScreenSteps in the search box.

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.
