¶ Using Microsoft sign in with Azure Active Directory
Project Contexts allows company to use their Azure Active Directory to authenticate users within their organization. When this feature is enabled, the employee list can also be imported from the Azure Active Directory of the company.
¶ Step 1 - Create a free trial account and activate it
On the login page click on the ‘Sign up for a free trial’ link and fill in the form to create your trial account. You will receive an activation link in your email and once activated you will be able to use your Project Contexts account. For the first time, you will need to put in a password to create your account. Once Microsoft sign in is activated, you will no longer need that password to sign in.
¶ Step 2: Enable the Microsoft sign in
Click on ‘Administration’ link in the top menu, then on the ‘Company profile’ section. On this page, select the ‘Authentication settings’ tab and enable the Microsoft Azure AD sign in feature.
¶ Step 3: Sign out and sign in using Microsoft
Once the Microsoft Azure AD sign in is enabled, you will need to sign out of Project Contexts and sign in again, but this time using the Microsoft sign in link.
