MS EntraID Connection

Learn to create MS EntraID Connection.

Last published at: March 16th, 2026

You can configure a "Generic Connection" in FlowWright to connect to Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD). This process typically uses OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials to allow the application to interact with Microsoft APIs.

To successfully create or update this connection, you need to gather specific values from your Microsoft Azure Portal and input them into the fields shown in your image.

 

Prerequisites: Azure Portal Setup

Before filling out the form in FlowWright, you must register an application in Azure:

  1. Log in to the Azure Portal.
  2. Navigate to Microsoft Entra ID > App registrations > New registration.
  3. After registering, go to Certificates & secrets to create a new Client Secret. (Note: Copy the Value, not the Secret ID).
  4. Go to API permissions, grant the necessary permissions (e.g., User.Read.All, Directory.Read.All), then click Grant admin consent.

 

Step-by-Step Configuration in FlowWright

Follow the parameters shown in your screenshot to complete the connection:

(1) Name & Type

  • Name: Give the connection a recognisable name (e.g., MS EntraID).
  • Type: Select EntraID from the dropdown menu.

(2) Parameters (The Keys to the Connection)

  • You must add three specific key-value pairs by clicking the (+) icon:
Key Where to find it in the Azure Portal
TenantID Found on the Overview page of your App Registration (labelled "Directory (tenant) ID").
ClientID Found on the Overview page of your App Registration (labelled "Application (client) ID").
ClientSecret The Value of the secret you generated under "Certificates & secrets".

(3) Saving the Connection

  • Ensure there are no extra spaces at the beginning or end of the IDs or Secrets.
  • Click Update (or Create) to save the configuration.

A sample connection is included here for reference.

 

 

How this connection works:

Once configured, FlowWright uses these credentials to request an access token from Microsoft’s identity platform. This token allows FlowWright to perform actions like syncing users, checking group memberships, or managing identities within your Entra ID tenant without requiring a user to log in manually.

 

Troubleshooting Tips:

  • Invalid Secret: If the connection fails, double-check that you used the Client Secret value, not the "Secret ID".
  • Permissions: If the connection is successful but you cannot pull data, ensure you have added "Application Permissions" (not "Delegated Permissions") in Azure and clicked the Grant admin consent button.
