Entra ID¶

Entra ID is the newer version of identity and access management created by Microsoft. It is an on-cloud version of its peer on-premises Active Directory. Entra ID is great at managing user access to cloud applications.

Entra ID application on hire2retire uses OAuth authorization. By linking your Entra ID account with hire2retire, you can authorize RoboMQ to have a delegated access on your behalf. RoboMQ needs the following permissions on your account to provide a seamless integration experience:

Scopes	Explanation
User.ReadWrite.All	Read and write all user's full profiles
Group.ReadWrite.All	Read and write all groups
Directory.AccessAsUser.All	Application requires this scope to reset their password.
offline_access	Maintain access to data you have given it access to. When a user approves the offline_access scope, your app can receive refresh tokens from the Microsoft identity platform token endpoint. Refresh tokens are long-lived. Your app can get new access tokens as older ones expire.
