Microsoft Entra integration with EverBridge

In this article, you learn how to integrate EverBridge with Microsoft Entra ID. When you integrate EverBridge with Microsoft Entra ID, you can:

• Control in Microsoft Entra ID who has access to EverBridge.
• Allow your users to be automatically signed in to EverBridge with their Microsoft Entra accounts. This access control is called single sign-on (SSO).
• Manage your accounts in one central location by using the Azure portal.

Prerequisites

The scenario outlined in this article assumes that you already have the following prerequisites:

• A Microsoft Entra user account with an active subscription. If you don't already have one, you can Create an account for free.
• One of the following roles:
  • Application Administrator
  • Cloud Application Administrator
  • Application Owner.

• An EverBridge subscription that uses single sign-on.

Scenario description

In this article, you configure and test Microsoft Entra single sign-on in a test environment.

• EverBridge supports IDP-initiated SSO.

Add EverBridge from the Gallery

To configure the integration of EverBridge into Microsoft Entra ID, you need to add EverBridge from the gallery to your list of managed SaaS apps.

1. Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least a Cloud Application Administrator.
2. Browse to Identity > Applications > Enterprise applications > New application.
