BetterCloud is excited to announce that we now support integration with Microsoft Azure Active Directory (AD) to support user lifecycle management in Microsoft-centric environments. We have also added a substantial number of new actions that can be taken across many different integrations that the BetterCloud platform supports. 

Azure Active Directory

Azure Active Directory is now available as an integration in BetterCloud! You can now enhance your BetterCloud workflows with the mission critical user data from one of the leading cloud identity providers. Head to the Integration Center to install it today! Here are some of the top use cases solved by BetterCloud and Azure AD:

Advanced Onboarding and Offboarding
Azure Active Directory and BetterCloud work together to fully automate end-to-end user onboarding and offboarding. Azure AD performs the initial actions associated with provisioning user identity and ensuring that users are able to access the right applications. BetterCloud will listen for changes being made in Azure AD and will execute workflows with advanced actions for onboarding and offboarding within SaaS applications. Azure AD performs Initial Actions before “handing the baton” to BetterCloud for Advanced Actions.

Mid Lifecycle Management
Manage mid lifecycle user changes by automating the associated IT processes to save time and reduce the risk of misconfiguration errors. Beyond performing advanced actions in onboarding and offboarding workflows, BetterCloud listens for user changes in Azure AD to automate workflows and execute ongoing changes within applications.

In addition to syncing Azure AD Users and Groups into BetterCloud, the following Workflow Triggers are now available for Azure AD:

  • • New User Created
  • • User Status Changed
  • • User Added to Group
  • • User Removed from Group

Workflows can also be conditioned by the following Azure AD Attributes:

  • • User’s Status
  • • User’s Department
  • • User’s Title
  • • User’s Manager
  • • User’s On-Premises AD Distinguished Name 
  • • User’s Type
  • • User’s Office Location
  • • User’s Country
  • • User’s Postal Code
  • • User’s State/Province

The following Actions for Azure AD are now available:

  • • Create User

The following Freshdesk actions strengthen BetterCloud’s user lifecycle management capabilities by enabling the management of Agents, their Roles, and their Groups.

  • • Remove User from all Teams
  • • Reassign Incidents

 
Smartsheet 

User’s can now be removed from all their groups as part of offboarding instead of removing groups one by one. This helps maintain a clean group structure as users depart your organization. New actions include:

  • • Remove User from All Groups

Tableau

Group management for Tableau has been enhanced! Users can now be added to Tableau groups as part of onboarding or crossboarding. They can also be removed from all their groups as part of offboarding instead of removing groups one by one. This helps maintain a clean group structure as users depart your organization.
