Overview

As the Team Administrator of your organisation or site, you have access to manage your Sine Active Directory plugin configuration with Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory).

  • Create new synchronisation task(s)

  • Manually run synchronisation task

  • Edit current synchronisation task

  • Disable synchronisation task

  • Delete synchronisation task

More details in the following sections of this article.

Before you start

  1. Log in to Sine Core, using your Sine Team Admin credentials

  2. Select Admin Dashboard

  3. Select Configurations tab in the Plugins page and complete a task described in the Detailed instructions section.

Detailed instructions

Create new synchronisation tasks(s)

This applies if your Sine team services multiple different tenants / companies with different Microsoft Entra ID instances, as part of multi-tenancy. If there is a need to sync more than one Microsoft AAD instance, a new configuration task will need to be created for each instance.

  1. Select the New Configuration button

  2. Select the Active Directory Sync plugin from the dialogue window

  3. Complete the following:

    1. Step 1: Authorise Sine access to Microsoft Entra ID

    2. Step 2: Map Sine Host Groups with Microsoft Entra ID
      ​Important: Do not map the same Host Group more than once. Any given Host
      ​Group should be mapped only in one configuration to avoid conflicting data.

    3. Step 3: Save and activate configuration

    4. Step 4: If required, manually run the task

  4. Further reading: Setup Sine Active Directory Sync plugin.
