Note: To enable this integration, you must have the Application Administrator role on the Microsoft Azure side. |
When an Identity Provider (IDP) creates unique IDs for users, deleting and recreating a user in the IDP results in a new unique ID for that user. If you add the recreated user back into Avigilon Alta, the system will recognize them as a new user due to the new ID, even though the email address is the same. This can cause confusion, as it becomes unclear which version of the user is correct.
We offer two types of authentication with Microsoft Azure, OAuth2 and OAuth Client (Service Principal)
To set up the integration:
Go to https://control.openpath.com/login and log in. To access the European Control CenterAlta Access, please go to https://control.eu.openpath.com/login.
Under App Marketplace > Get Apps, select Microsoft Azure AD (Or ‘Essential User Management’ if you are on the legacy billing plan), then click Get App.
Under App Marketplace > My Apps, and click Microsoft Azure AD.
Microsoft will prompt you to sign in. Sign in with your Azure AD account credentials and allow Avigilon Alta to access your users and groups.
