Entra ID
The Entra ID connector for Elimity Insights fetches principals, roles and subscriptions from Entra ID so you can keep in control of your environment. Follow the instructions below to set up the connector for your environment.
1. Creating a dedicated app registration in Entra ID
As usual we recommend creating a dedicated account for this connector. Follow the steps below to set up a new app registration in Entra ID:
In Azure, open the overview of your tenant's app registrations by typing 'app registrations' in the global search bar and clicking the 'App registrations' service.
Click the 'New registration' button.
Choose a name for this registration (e.g.
elimity-insights).Leave the default for 'Supported account types' and 'Redirect URI' and click 'Register'.
Note down both the client identifier and the tenant identifier for this new app registration.
2. Generating credentials for the new app registration
The Entra ID connector authenticates as the app registration using a client secret. Click "Certificates & secrets" in the menu on the left and add a new client secret. Immediately note down the value of your new secret.
3. Granting read permissions to the Graph API
Having created a new app registration in Entra ID, we now need to grant it read access to some parts of the Microsoft Graph API:
Click 'API permissions' in the menu on the left and only add the 'Microsoft Graph' > 'Application permissions' > 'Directory.Read.All'. If you have an Entra ID Premium P1/P2 license and would like to import sign-in activity for users, then grant 'Microsoft Graph' > 'Application permissions' > 'AuditLog.Read.All' as well.
Grant admin consent for these permission assignments.
4. Creating a source in Elimity Insights
In Elimity Insights you can now create a new Entra ID source providing the following configuration options:
Tenant ID
Tenant identifier you noted down in step 1.
Application ID
Client identifier you noted down in step 1.
Application Secret
Client secret you noted down in step 2.
Import sign-in activity
Enable this if you want to import sign-in activity for users; requires an Entra ID Premium P1/P2 license and the additional 'AuditLog.Read.All' permission as explained in step 3.
