Sync Microsoft Entra ID users to Site24x7 via Zoho Directory

If you want to sync your user data from Microsoft Azure AD to Site24x7, you can do it with Zoho Directory's conditional assignment feature. Once synced, you can easily add users in Site24x7 without requiring manual intervention. The users added to Azure AD will automatically be reflected in Site24x7.

Prerequisites:

  1. Site24x7 account with administrator access.
  2. Active Microsoft Azure subscription.
  3. Zoho Directory account with administrator privileges.
  4. Integrate Zoho Directory with Site24x7.
NotesSite24x7 users will have free access to Zoho Directory.

For example, consider if you want to grant administrative access to all members of the operations group, since admin access typically entails higher privileges and permissions. This will enable those users to manage various aspects of systems, applications, and platforms.

Follow the steps below to configure the same. 

  1. Sync Azure Active Directory with Zoho Directory
  2. Set up conditional assignment in Zoho Directory
  3. Verify user sync in Site24x7
