Arythmatic + Azure Active Directory

Microsoft Azure AD SSO for enterprise training access

Last Updated: April 2026

Integrate Arythmatic with Azure Active Directory for seamless single sign-on across your Microsoft ecosystem. Users access training with the same credentials they use for Office 365 and other Microsoft apps.

Why Connect Azure Active Directory with Your LMS?

Organizations invested in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem expect every enterprise application to integrate with Azure Active Directory for identity management. Without Azure AD integration, the LMS becomes an island requiring separate credentials, creating friction for employees who otherwise enjoy seamless SSO across all Microsoft apps. IT teams must manually provision and deprovision LMS accounts instead of leveraging their existing Azure AD lifecycle automation, doubling their identity management workload. Security teams cannot enforce conditional access policies or MFA requirements on training content, creating compliance gaps for organizations in regulated industries. The inability to use Azure AD groups for training assignment means L&D teams maintain parallel group structures in the LMS, leading to drift between HR organizational data and training access that is difficult to detect and correct.

Key Benefits

✓SSO with existing Microsoft credentials

✓Automated user provisioning via Azure AD SCIM

✓Group-based course assignment synced from AD groups

✓Conditional access policies for training content

✓Seamless experience across Microsoft ecosystem

How It Works

1Register Arythmatic as an enterprise application in Azure AD

2Configure SAML or OIDC authentication

3Map Azure AD groups to Arythmatic roles and courses

4Users sign in with their Microsoft account

Expanded Setup Guide

1Navigate to Arythmatic Admin > Integrations > SSO and select Azure Active Directory from the identity provider options.

2In Azure AD portal, register Arythmatic as an Enterprise Application and configure single sign-on using SAML 2.0 or OIDC protocol.

3Configure SAML claims or OIDC token attributes to pass user profile data (email, name, department, groups, UPN) from Azure AD to Arythmatic.

4Download the Azure AD Federation Metadata XML or copy the metadata URL and enter it in the Arythmatic SSO configuration panel.

5Enable SCIM provisioning in the Azure AD Enterprise App settings, entering the Arythmatic SCIM endpoint and secret token for automated user lifecycle management.

6Map Azure AD security groups and dynamic groups to Arythmatic training groups and roles for automatic course assignment based on group membership.

7Configure Azure AD conditional access policies for the Arythmatic app, including MFA requirements, trusted locations, and device compliance checks.

8Add Arythmatic to the Microsoft 365 app launcher, test SSO login and SCIM provisioning with a pilot group, then enable for the full organization.

Use Cases

Provide training access through the Microsoft 365 app launcher

Auto-assign training based on Azure AD security groups

Enforce conditional access for compliance training modules

Popular Automation Workflows

TriggerUser provisioned via Azure AD SCIM→ActionCreate Arythmatic account with AD profile data

When Azure AD provisions a user to the Arythmatic enterprise app via SCIM, a learner account is created with all mapped profile attributes including groups and department.

TriggerUser added to Azure AD security group→ActionAssign group-mapped training in Arythmatic

When a user is added to an Azure AD group that maps to an Arythmatic training group, they are automatically enrolled in the associated courses and learning paths.

TriggerUser deactivated in Azure AD→ActionDeactivate Arythmatic account immediately

When a user is disabled or deleted in Azure AD, SCIM deprovisioning immediately deactivates their Arythmatic account, closing active sessions and preserving records.

TriggerUser authenticates via Azure AD SSO→ActionGrant access with conditional access enforcement

Users sign in via SAML or OIDC through Azure AD, with conditional access policies enforcing MFA, device compliance, and location restrictions as configured.

TriggerAzure AD dynamic group membership changes→ActionAuto-update training assignments

When Azure AD dynamic group membership changes based on user attributes (department, title, location), Arythmatic automatically adjusts training assignments to match.

TriggerAzure AD license assignment changes→ActionUpdate Arythmatic feature access

When a user's Azure AD license or app role assignment changes, Arythmatic adjusts their feature access level, enabling or restricting premium training content accordingly.
