# Getting Started with Azure AD Integration ## Overview of Azure AD Integration You’re ready to connect your workspace to Azure AD. This guide makes it simple to sync users and groups automatically and let your team sign in with their existing Azure AD credentials, so access stays aligned with your identity provider and reduces manual admin overhead. With both user sync and SSO in place, you can centralize identity, streamline onboarding, and keep permissions up to date. This section provides step-by-step instructions for configuring user sync and setting up SSO login with Azure AD. You’ll be able to connect your directory, manage access through groups, and enable seamless, secure sign-in; helping your organization stay organized and compliant as it scales. Along the way, you’ll also find troubleshooting tips, security recommendations, and implementation notes to ensure your integration is reliable, resilient, and easy to maintain over time. ### What You’ll Find Here * [**Azure AD User Sync**](/herd-security-docs/azure-ad-configuration/azure-active-directory-user-and-group-sync.md) — How to connect Herd to Azure AD to automatically import and update users and groups on a schedule.​ * [**Azure AD SSO Login**](/herd-security-docs/azure-ad-configuration/azure-ad-sso.md) — How to configure Single Sign-On so users can authenticate with Azure AD instead of passwords managed in Herd.​ * **Troubleshooting & Security Notes** — Tips for resolving common errors and following best practices for permissions, secrets, and ongoing maintenance.​ ### Before You Begin * Confirm you have admin access to your Azure AD tenant and to Herd organization settings.​ * When you’re ready, continue to the next module to set up Azure AD User Sync, then move on to enabling Azure AD SSO. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
