In order to enable seamless user and permissions management in Venn, Venn offers integrations with third-party Identity Providers (IdPs), including Entra (formerly known as Azure).
If you configure Entra as your Venn Identity Management solution, your users will be created, modified, and deleted in Entra and synced to Venn. Additionally, users' Venn login information will be managed through Entra.
Learn how to manage Venn user access with Entra as your IdP.
Venn supports unidirectional syncing from Entra to Venn, meaning that changes you make in Entra will be reflected in Venn. Bidirectional syncing is not supported, meaning that changes you make to users in Venn will not update Entra.
