# Set up SSO with Azure

Ren supports single sign-on (SSO) with Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory). Ren connects through its own Microsoft application, so your Azure administrators don’t need to create an App Registration or manage client secrets. You just send Ren a few details and we configure the connection on our side.

SSO through Ren’s application also connects each user’s Outlook contacts and calendar when they sign in. New users go straight to their feed without a separate setup step.

### Ren will need the following information from your admin:

- **Primary domain.** In Azure, go to **Microsoft Entra ID → Overview** and note the **Primary domain**.
- **Domain(s) for which SSO should be enforced.** This is usually your company email domain. If your users sign in with more than one email domain, include each one.
- **Approval to connect using Ren’s application** by following the guideline [Grant access to Azure](https://help.rensystems.com/grant-access-to-azure?hsLang=en)

### Steps to set up SSO

1. Send the information above to your contact at Ren, or to [support@rensystems.com](mailto:support@rensystems.com).
2. Ren configures the SSO connection and replies to schedule a short test with you.
3. An administrator will need to [grant access to Azure](https://help.rensystems.com/grant-access-to-azure?hsLang=en) for your organization.
4. Once the test succeeds, anyone with an enforced email domain signs in to Ren through Microsoft.

### Limiting who can sign in (optional)

After consent is granted, Ren appears in your tenant under **Enterprise applications**. To restrict access to specific users:

1. In Azure, go to **Microsoft Entra ID → Enterprise applications** and open **Ren**.
2. Go to **Properties**, set **Assignment required?** to **Yes**, and click **Save**.
3. Go to **Users and groups** and assign the users or security group who should have access. If you already restrict Outlook access with a security group, we recommend using the same one.

Users who aren’t assigned will be blocked at sign-in, including users who already have a Ren account.

### Using your own App Registration

If your organization’s policies don’t allow third-party multi-tenant applications, contact Ren and we can connect SSO to an App Registration in your own tenant instead. With this option, the client secret expires periodically. Your team will need to create a new secret and send it to Ren before it expires, or users will be unable to sign in.
