Manage Venn User Access with Entra (Azure) as Your IdP

Once Entra (formerly known as Azure) is set up as your Venn Identity Management solution, user access to Venn will be managed in Entra.

Provision User Access to Venn in Entra

You can grant access to Venn for users or groups in Entra. The user or group of users will be created in Venn along with any backend resources they require. If a group does not already exist in Venn, the group will be created and the users will be added to the group.

Group provisioning of users requires Entra ID Premium Licensing.

To grant access to a user or group:

  1. Log in to the Entra portal.
  2. Navigate to Entra > Enterprise applications and find Workplace in the list.

  4. Users will now be provisioned in Venn and can begin onboarding. You can confirm that the users were created in Venn by using the Venn Admin portal. From the admin portal, locate and click on Directory from the left navigation. When the menu expands, select User Dashboard
  5. In the Venn Admin portal, locate Directory from the left navigation. When the menu expands, select User Dashboard
By default, Entra pushes user information to Venn every 40 minutes, so access will be provisioned anywhere from 0-40 minutes after users are assigned to the Workplace enterprise application in Entra. Navigate to Entra > Provisioning page and select Provision on demand.

Remove User Access from Venn in Entra

You can remove access to Venn for a user or group in Entra.

If you remove a user from a group that has the application assigned, they will no longer have access to Venn. Additionally, if you delete a user from Entra when they leave your organization, they will also be deleted from Venn.

To remove access to Venn for a user, unassign the user from the Workplace Enterprise app in Entra and then delete their user account in Venn following the steps in this article.
