Yes, it is possible to use the free version of Microsoft Entra ID for user synchronization and authentication in SMARTFENSE, with some limitations inherent to the service.
How it works
SMARTFENSE is compatible with the free version of Microsoft Entra ID (Azure Active Directory) for:
- User synchronization
- Authentication (SSO)
This allows integrating the platform with the organization's directory without the need for a paid license.
Limitations
The main limitation of the free version is related to:
- The number of users that can be managed
- Advanced Microsoft Entra ID features that are not included in the free plan
These limitations depend solely on Microsoft and not on SMARTFENSE.
Considerations
- The integration works correctly within the capabilities of the free plan
- Some advanced features may require additional Microsoft licenses
- It is recommended to validate the limits according to the customer's environment
💡 Best practices
- Verify the user limits in the free version before implementation
- Evaluate if advanced Entra ID features are required
- Perform integration tests before productive use
