Follow the steps to connect your Microsoft Azure active directory to Nibol

  1. Open Nibol 5.0 > go to the Integrations section within the Company settings

  2. Click on Activate corresponding to the Microsoft Active Directory integration Enter ID.

  3. Fill out the request to activate the integration with some useful details > Send request

N.B.: To install this integration we must contact the technical department of your company.

The instructions that we will give to your company's technical department to activate the integration are as follows:

  1. Log in through Microsoft Azure

    Be careful, to proceed with the installation of the integration, you must have an administrator account in Microsoft Azure.

  2. Prepare your directory in Microsoft Azure > you will need to map the members of your directory that will need to be synchronized on Nibol

  3. Our technicians will verify that the values entered work correctly and finally they will complete the synchronization

How to prepare the directory in Microsoft Azure

First of all, we recommend that you analyze the directory and identify 2 attributes (suggested OnPremises ones) that will be used as filters for:

  1. include only users who will use Nibol

  2. specify the role (admin or employee)

We leave you a list of attributes available to use at this link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/user?view=graph-rest-1.0#properties

If you haven't done it before, log in to Azure platform and assign Nibol roles (Employee or Administrator) through your Azure directory. In particular, you must associate a unique value within the profile of each individual user that allows them to obtain Administrator access credentials.

Find an example below:

In this example, all members with the value JobTitle="Manager” (in your case, use a wording of your choice) will have access to the Administrator interface.

Synchronize your directory

From now on, your Nibol directory is integrated with that of Microsoft Azure. This means that when a new member is added to Azure, it will automatically be added to Nibol.

If, together with the integrated Active Directory, you have also enabled login to Nibol through Single Sign On, you will only have to notify the new members of their addition to Nibol. If, on the other hand, you have kept the login with email and password, we will take care of sending a welcome email to your employees!

Attention: when you need to delete the administrator user on Microsoft and Nibol, it is very important, before performing this action, to write to us at our address: support@nibol.com

What happens when you delete a user from your Active Directory If there is a manual

cancellation or dictated by a failed synchronization with Active Directory, the users involved will not immediately lose all the reservations made in the future. In fact, these will be saved for 24 hours, time needed to restore a lack of sync, for example.

If, on the other hand, the cancellation of the user is intentional, know that you can always cancel any future reservations as administrators. Find here the guide in this regard.
