What Are the Prerequisites for Having SysAid for Microsoft Teams Installed?
There’s only two prerequisites:
- You must have Microsoft Teams up and running in your organization.
- The Azure AD integration must be set up and enabled for your SysAid account.
Why Do I Need to Set Up SysAid’s Azure AD Integration as a Prerequisite for SysAid for Teams?
Microsoft Teams uses Azure Active Directory as the source for user management.
It pulls Azure AD user data to be used for chats, conversations, and updates.
As explained in the Microsoft documentation: Teams is built on Microsoft 365 groups, Microsoft Graph, and the same enterprise-level security, compliance, and manageability as the rest of Microsoft 365 and Office 365.
Teams leverage identities stored in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/teams-overview#teams-architecture
If I Want to Continue Using My LDAP Users and Groups, How Can I Use SysAid for Teams, Which Requires Azure Integration?
You’ll be able to continue with LDAP simply by activating Azure as a secondary user repository.
