1. Introduction

Microsoft Entra is a comprehensive solution for protecting organization identities, managing directories, managing workloads, remediating tasks, and securing access to internet-based applications and resources. Microsoft Entra is the new name for Azure Active Directory (AD).

The Microsoft Entra and Engagedly integration allows employees to use their Microsoft Entra credentials to access Engagedly, providing a seamless and secure single sign-on (SSO) experience. IT teams can efficiently manage user access and permissions, ensuring that only authorized users can access sensitive data. By centralizing identity management, organizations can improve security, reduce administrative overhead, and offer a smoother user experience across platforms.
