Directory integration

User lifecycle on autopilot

Identity & Access Management connects Teams to your existing identity provider. Users provision automatically when they join your organization and deprovision when they leave. SSO eliminates password management while directory sync keeps access current. Identity management becomes invisible with Delalify Teams.

Capabilities

Enterprise identity integration

Directory sync

Users exist in your identity provider but must be recreated manually in each application. Keeping accounts synchronized means double the work and inevitable data drift that leads to security gaps and administrative frustration as HR records and application access fall out of alignment.

Connect Delalify Teams to Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, or other SCIM-compliant providers. User accounts sync automatically based on directory membership, creating a single source of truth for identity across your entire workspace. This integration ensures that your user list in Teams Membership always reflects your actual organization structure.

Single Sign-On (SSO)

Users manage multiple passwords for different applications, leading to "password fatigue" and security risks. Forgotten passwords generate constant support tickets that overwhelm IT departments, while weak or reused passwords create vulnerabilities that could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive company data.

Enable users to authenticate through your existing identity provider using standard protocols like SAML or OIDC. No separate Delalify passwords to manage or forget. Authentication happens once, and users gain secure access to all their tools, including OneCloud and Channels, using the credentials they already know and trust.

Automatic provisioning

HR adds someone to the directory, but IT still needs to create accounts in each application manually. New hires wait days for access while these manual processes complete, leading to lost productivity and a fragmented onboarding experience that prevents them from contributing to the team from day one.

When a new employee is added to your directory, they receive a Delalify Teams account automatically with appropriate roles assigned based on their group membership. Access arrives with the job, allowing new hires to start working in People and other products immediately. This smooth transition improves the employee experience and reduces administrative overhead.

Automatic deprovisioning

Someone leaves the organization, but their application accounts persist because nobody remembered to revoke them. Former employees retain access to sensitive company data until someone discovers the orphaned account manually, creating a significant security risk and potential compliance violation.

When HR removes an individual from your directory, their Delalify Teams account deactivates immediately, revoking all workspace access. Departure from the organization means instant departure from the digital environment. This automated process ensures that access is only granted to current members, protecting your intellectual property and maintaining a secure perimeter around your data.

Role mapping

Directory groups define your organizational structure, but application permissions often require separate, redundant configuration. Aligning the two manually means constant coordination and a high risk of permission drift, where users have more or less access than their actual job function requires.

Map directory groups directly to predefined or custom roles in Delalify Teams. Marketing department members can be automatically assigned the Editor role in Channels, while Finance members become Viewers in OneCloud. Your organizational structure determines access automatically, ensuring that permissions remain consistent and accurate without manual intervention for every user change.

Compliance reporting illustration

Compliance reporting

Auditors require proof of who has access to sensitive data and whether that access matches HR records. Generating these reports manually means pulling data from multiple disconnected systems and reconciling discrepancies, a process that is slow, error-prone, and often fails to provide a complete picture of access controls.

Generate detailed reports showing user access aligned with directory status and group membership. Easily identify orphaned accounts or permission drift before they become compliance issues. Use these reports to demonstrate strong security controls during audits and maintain continuous compliance with industry standards like SOC 2 or HIPAA.

Why it matters

Automated user lifecycle

Zero manual provisioning

User lifecycle management happens automatically through directory integration. When HR adds someone to the organization, they get workspace access without IT tickets. When HR removes them, access disappears instantly.

Stronger security posture

SSO enforces your existing authentication policies including multi-factor requirements. Deprovisioning removes access instantly when employment ends, closing the window between termination and credential revocation.

Simplified compliance audits

Directory sync means access records match HR records, satisfying compliance requirements without manual reconciliation. Auditors see clean documentation because the system maintains accuracy automatically.

Reduced password overhead

Users authenticate through your identity provider with credentials they already know. Password reset tickets disappear because Delalify never manages separate credentials that users can forget.

Use cases

See IAM in action

Enterprise enforcing security policies

A large organization requires SSO for all corporate applications to maintain a high security standard. The IT department connects Delalify Teams to Microsoft Entra ID, enforcing multi-factor authentication and conditional access policies. Users sign in once and gain secure access to OneCloud and other Delalify products alongside their other enterprise apps.

Result

Password-related support tickets drop by 80% because users do not manage separate credentials for Delalify. Security audits confirm that all authentication follows corporate policy, and the organization reduces its attack surface by eliminating separate password stores for multiple applications.

Healthcare organization maintaining HIPAA compliance

To protect patient health information (PHI) in People, a healthcare practice requires immediate access revocation when staff members leave. Directory sync is configured to deactivate Delalify Teams accounts the moment HR processes a termination in their central identity system, ensuring that no former employee can access sensitive medical records.

Result

The organization's annual compliance audit demonstrates zero unauthorized PHI access after employment ends, satisfying HIPAA requirements and protecting patient privacy. The automated deprovisioning process removes the risk of human error in security management, providing a reliable and defensible audit trail.

University managing seasonal staff

The university IT department configures role mapping for hundreds of student workers each semester. By connecting Teams to their directory, student workers automatically receive limited access to specific communication channels in Channels based on their job assignments. When the semester ends and their directory status changes, all Delalify access is revoked automatically.

Result

IT spends zero time on manual provisioning for over 500 seasonal workers each semester, allowing them to focus on core academic technology services. Student workers are productive from their first day, and the university maintains a secure environment by ensuring that access is only granted to current employees.

Financial services firm meeting SOC 2 requirements

A financial firm uses Delalify to manage high-net-worth client relationships. To meet SOC 2 Type II requirements, they must prove that user access is strictly controlled and regularly audited. The compliance officer generates automated reports from Delalify Teams that show all user access precisely aligned with their directory groups and HR status, providing clear evidence of effective access controls.

Result

The SOC 2 certification proceeds without findings because access records match HR records precisely at all times. The firm reduces the cost and complexity of compliance by using an automated identity management system that maintains accurate records without manual data entry or reconciliation.

Multi-location retail chain managing store staff

A retail chain with 200 locations uses directory attributes to manage access for regional and store managers. Role mapping in Delalify Teams grants access to regional data in Shared Drives only for the stores within their specific territory. As managers move between locations or are promoted, their access updates automatically based on their directory profile.

Result

Regional managers see only relevant location data without IT manually configuring permissions for each of hundreds of locations. This automated approach ensures that every manager has the information they need to run their business while maintaining strict data isolation between different retail locations.
