Use Cases

Why integrate with Azure Active Directory

Common scenarios for SaaS companies building Azure Active Directory integrations for their customers.

01

Sync enterprise employee directories into your SaaS product

Pull users, departments, job titles, and manager hierarchies from Azure AD so your app always has an up-to-date view of your customer's org structure — no CSV uploads required.

02

Automate role-based access using Azure AD groups and roles

Map Azure AD security groups and directory roles to permission levels inside your product, letting enterprise IT admins control who gets access to what without touching your app's admin panel.

03

Power compliance dashboards with sign-in and audit activity data

Ingest Azure AD activity logs to surface sign-in anomalies, track admin role assignments, and generate audit-ready compliance reports that CISOs demand before signing enterprise contracts.

04

Verify license entitlements before enabling features

Check which Microsoft 365 licenses a user holds via Azure AD so your product can conditionally unlock integrations or workflows that depend on specific Microsoft subscription tiers.

05

Enable enterprise search across the Azure AD directory

Let your users search for colleagues by name, department, or office location directly within your product, powered by real-time lookups against Azure AD via the Unified Search API.

What You Can Build

Ship these features with Truto + Azure Active Directory

Concrete product features your team can ship faster by leveraging Truto’s Azure Active Directory integration instead of building from scratch.

01

Auto-populated org chart

Automatically build and maintain an interactive organizational hierarchy inside your app by syncing user profiles and manager relationships from Azure AD.

02

Real-time employee directory with search

Ship a searchable, always-current people directory that pulls names, emails, job titles, departments, and office locations directly from your customers' Azure AD tenants.

03

Group-based workspace provisioning

Automatically create workspaces, channels, or project boards in your product when users belong to specific Azure AD security groups, eliminating manual setup for IT admins.

04

License-aware feature gating

Check a user's assigned Microsoft 365 licenses at login and dynamically enable or restrict product features that depend on specific subscription tiers.

05

Sign-in activity anomaly alerts

Surface suspicious login patterns by ingesting Azure AD sign-in logs and flagging unusual IP addresses, geolocations, or authentication failures in your security dashboard.

06

Admin role audit report

Generate a downloadable compliance report listing all users with privileged Azure AD directory roles, including when those roles were assigned, for SOC 2 and ISO 27001 reviews.

How It Works

From zero to integrated

Go live with Azure Active Directory in under an hour. No boilerplate, no maintenance burden.

01

Link your customer’s Azure Active Directory account

Use Truto’s frontend SDK to connect your customer’s Azure Active Directory account. We handle all OAuth and API key flows — you don’t need to create the OAuth app.

02

We handle authentication

Don’t spend time refreshing access tokens or figuring out secure storage. We handle it and inject credentials into every API request.

03

Call our API, we call Azure Active Directory

Truto’s Proxy API is a 1-to-1 mapping of the Azure Active Directory API. You call us, we call Azure Active Directory, and pass the response back in the same cycle.

04

Unified response format

Every response follows a single format across all integrations. We translate Azure Active Directory’s pagination into unified cursor-based pagination. Data is always in the result attribute.

FAQs

Common questions about Azure Active Directory on Truto

Authentication, rate limits, data freshness, and everything else you need to know before you integrate.

How does authentication work for Azure AD integrations through Truto?

Azure AD integrations use OAuth 2.0 with the Microsoft identity platform. Truto handles the full auth flow — token acquisition, refresh, and consent scoping — so your end users simply authorize access through a standard Microsoft login prompt.

Which Unified APIs does Azure Active Directory map to in Truto?

Azure AD maps to the Unified User Directory API (covering Users, Roles, Licenses, and Activities) and the Unified Search API (covering Search). These provide a standardized interface for reading directory data across multiple identity providers.

Are there specific tools available for Azure AD, or is it built on request?

Azure AD currently has no pre-built tools — they are built on request. The integration is fully supported through Truto's Unified User Directory and Unified Search APIs. If you need a custom tool or workflow, Truto can build it to match your specific use case.

What about Microsoft Graph API rate limits?

Microsoft Graph enforces per-app and per-tenant throttling limits that vary by endpoint. Truto manages pagination, retries, and backoff automatically so you don't need to handle 429 responses or build your own rate-limiting logic.

Can I access Azure AD audit and sign-in logs through Truto?

Yes. Activities are part of the Unified User Directory API. This covers audit logs and sign-in activity data available through Microsoft Graph, subject to the Azure AD license tier of your customer's tenant (some log data requires Azure AD Premium P1 or P2).

Does Azure AD support write operations through Truto?

Write capabilities depend on the specific tools built for your integration. Since Azure AD tools are built on request, you can work with Truto to enable user profile updates or other write-back operations via the Microsoft Graph API as needed.
