Why Microsoft Azure
Connecting Microsoft Azure (Azure AD) lets you sync users and groups from your Microsoft 365 directory into CalmCompliance. Instead of inviting people manually, you map Azure groups to your site and permissions, then run an import. New staff in Azure appear in CalmCompliance with the right access. This keeps user lists in sync with your existing Microsoft setup and reduces manual admin work.
How to Connect and Use Microsoft Azure
Go to Settings > Integrations
Find the Microsoft Azure card and click Connect
Sign in with your Microsoft account and grant admin consent when prompted
After connecting, click Configure to open the integration settings
Open the Group Mapping tab and map each Azure group to your site and permissions (Member, Manager, or Admin per module)
Optionally open the Exclusions tab to exclude email patterns (e.g. system accounts or service accounts)
Click Start Import to sync users from Azure into CalmCompliance
Users are created or updated based on the group mapping. You can run Start Import again anytime to refresh the sync.
Before You Start
You need the Admin role for your site to connect and configure Microsoft Azure. If your organisation uses a Trust site with child sites, Microsoft Azure must be configured at the parent (Trust) site—child sites inherit the sync.
Common Questions
What data is synced? User names, email addresses, and group membership from Azure AD. The sync creates or updates users and assigns them to groups and sites according to your mapping.
Can I exclude certain users? Yes. Use the Exclusions tab to add email patterns (e.g. *service*, *bot*). You can also use auto-detect to suggest system accounts to exclude.
Where do I see the import history? Open the Import Log tab to view audit events for discovery, import runs, user creation, and any errors.
What if I'm on a child site? Microsoft Azure is configured at the parent site. Switch to the Trust site to connect and configure, or use Go to Trust Site Configuration from the integrations page.
