You can connect Omni to Microsoft Entra to manage authentication and user access through your organization’s existing identity provider. Entra supports SAML for single sign-on and SCIM for automated user provisioning. You can also sync additional user attributes like name, title, or department to keep Omni profiles up to date.

​
Integration overview

Connecting Entra to Omni allows you to:
  1. Authenticate users through Entra using SAML.
  2. Control when and how users are provisioned in Omni.
  3. Sync user profile data such as display name and department through attribute mappings.

​
User provisioning options

Omni supports two approaches for provisioning users:
OptionHow it worksWhen to use
SCIM provisioningUsers are created in Omni when assigned to the Omni app in Entra.You want users provisioned immediately upon assignment, regardless of whether they’ve logged in.
First-login provisioningUsers are created in Omni only when they first log in via SAML.You want to control seat usage by provisioning users only when they actually access Omni.
You can use first-login provisioning with or without SCIM. Refer to the SAML setup guide for more details.

​
Getting started

Follow these steps to get set up. You can complete SAML only, or add SCIM and attribute sync for a fully automated experience.

Notes and troubleshooting

  • Admin access required: You’ll need Entra admin permissions to configure SAML and SCIM.
  • Test before rollout: Try SSO with a test user before enabling it organization-wide.
  • Sync frequency: SCIM updates usually occur within a few minutes of changes in Entra.
If you run into issues, check your Entra app configuration or see Omni’s troubleshooting SSO guide.
