Add Users

Introduction

In order to log in and interact with Records365, users need to be assigned the designated Records365 roles in Azure Active Directory. Records365 doesn’t store users or passwords but instead leverages your corporate Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) as the identity provider. This allows the centralized management of all your users and applications directly in your Azure AD.

Records365 leverages 2 authentication protocols used in different scenarios:

• User Identity: Based on the OpenID Connect protocol, it’s used by the Records365 Portal to authenticate users.
• Application Identity: Based on the OAuth 2.0 protocol with JWT access tokens, it’s used by the Records365 Connector Framework to authenticate applications invoking the Records365 Connectors API.
