In order for AAD to work, you need to make sure that the following requirements are met.

Access to your AAD Azure Account

Access https://portal.azure.com and login.

If you're able to see "Azure Active Directory" - you meet this requirement

NOTE: Azure Active Directory Group membership syncronization to DC requires Azure Subscription levels "Premium P1" or "Premium P2"

The ID of a user of which you want all your users to look like (AAD Template User)

Per default the DAM Center is configured with two users, that are "copied" every time either a collection or self-signup user has been created by the system. These two are just users, like any other user. The thing that sets them apart is that their passwords usually is something that's meant never to be written again, and that their member ID's have been set to be called upon by the system.

Usually the self-signup user named "self-sign up template user" has been set up correctly if you already have the self-signup functionality enabled in your Media Manager. If this is the case, usually this user can be used for automatic assigning of roles when creating AAD users. Remember this user's user ID then (usually this is something like "300xx")

If you don't want to use the previously mentioned template user, you'll have to create a new user. You do this by doing the following steps:Login to your DAM Center with a Super Administrator or an Administrator user

1. Go to System tools → Users and groups → Users → System users and press Add

2. In the Username field, you type in "AAD Template User", in the password field you type in something random, and in the Metagroup field "User Config" and press create

3. 

4. Now make a note about your new user's user ID

5. 

6. Now edit the user's roles by expanding the right side Edit menu - and then make sure that you're in the view named "Standard" now add the following groups

   1. Internal access

   2. Light user or Content Creator

   3. Public access

   4. Trusted (usually, already added by default)

7. 

8. Press save

The ID you've noted down will be used in a upcoming section, where you have to edit some XML.

Create Groups in Dam Center that reflects Active Directory Groups

Navigate to System Tools / Groups in Dam Center / Users and groups / Groups.

Create a Folder by right clicking Groups and selecting Add folder

Name the new folder "Azure Active Directory"

Select the new Folder.

In the Azure Portal Navigate to "Azure Active Directory" / "Groups"

The Object Id is used to bind the Active Directory Group to a DamCenter Group.

Repeat for each Azure Active Directory group that should grant access to DamCenter

Click "Add", and Give the new DamCenter Group a name.

Click "Create"

Select the new Group, and edit in the right pane.

• Fill the "Binding group name" with the object Id from the azure groups "Object Id" field

• Check the "Is Binding group" checkbox

• Select DamCenter Groups, users that are member of the Azure Group should be member of.

• Click Save.

Repeat for each Azure group that should be mapped.

Make an App Registration for the DC in the Azure Portal

You have to enable AAD for the DC. All other applications that we support AAD for will inherit it from the DC.

You register your product by doing the following steps:

1. Access https://portal.azure.com with your Azure credentials, you have from the first requirement (Access to your AAD Azure Account)

2. Access "Azure Active Directory" (see image)

3. 

4. In here, press the "App registrations" beneath "Manage" (See image)

5. 

6. Now press the "New registration"

7. 

8. In the form, set the “name” to something that is easy to remember and find again should that be needed.
   Set the “Redirect URI” to “https://{dc-url}/DigizuiteCore/LoginService”

   

9. On the application page, select “endpoints”
   

   

10. Find the “Federation metadata document” url, and save that somewhere convenient. This is the “Metadata address”
    

    

11. Next go to “Expose an api”
    

    

12. Click Click Application ID URI Set > Save, and then copy the value out and save it. This is the “App id”

    

13. The last thing that has to be done, is to invite users to the site. This is described in another guide. In short, access your site's registration in the "Enterprise Applications" tab in the AAD section, and take it from there.
