There are three supported methods for linking Single Sign‑On (SSO) between Azure AD and iplicit. The method you choose depends on whether the user or admin has access to Azure, iplicit, or both.


Method 1: User‑Based Linking (via Security Settings)

Best for: Individual users linking their own accounts if SSO is already set up within the environment. 

  1. Go to your username in the top‑right corner.
  2. Select Security.
  3. A new window will open.
  4. On the Azure AD line, click Link.
  5. Follow the on‑screen steps to authorise the connection between Azure AD and iplicit.

Once complete, the Azure AD field will display the user’s email address instead of the Link button.


This confirms the link is successful and the user can now log in via SSO.




Method 2: Admin in iplicit (but NOT an Azure Admin)

Best for: Bulk linking when the iplicit admin does not have Azure admin rights


Step 1 – IT Team Prepares the CSV

The IT team must export the following for each user:

  • Email address
  • Azure AD Object ID


Step 2 – iplicit Admin Imports the CSV

  1. Go to User Accounts.
  2. Click the three dots menu.
  3. Select SSO Link Wizard.
  4. Ensure the correct provider is selected (usually defaults correctly).
  5. Upload the CSV file and click Continue.


iplicit will then link each user to their Azure AD identity based on the CSV data.




Method 3: Admin in BOTH Azure and iplicit

Best for: Organisations where one person manages both systems


Required iplicit Permission

The user must have the User: Admin permission.



This allows them to:

  • View users
  • Add/remove users
  • Access the SSO Link Wizard

It does not grant full system admin rights, but you should still test this permission in a sandbox environment to ensure it’s appropriate for the user.


Linking Process

  1. Go to Users.
  2. Click the three dots menu.
  3. Select Link Wizard.
  4. Choose Azure Login.
  5. Follow the steps to authorise and link users directly.

This method allows the admin to link users without needing a CSV file.
