Can Matrix Booking use Microsoft Entra ID groups for restricting access to a resource?
Problem / Question
Can Matrix Booking use Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) groups for restricting access to a resource such as a room, desk or floor?
Answer
Yes, Matrix Booking can use Entra ID groups to restrict access and use single sign-on via multiple Entra ID instances.
If you’ve connected your directory to Matrix Booking using either the Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) integration or SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) integration, you should add or remove users in the directory of the integration you’re using. You must have a master list of Matrix Booking users in Entra ID or SCIM. Matrix Booking can pull members in from the master list and set them up as Matrix Booking users. You can have other Entra ID or SCIM groups that can be used to create Matrix Booking user groups. However, those members in those groups must exist in the master list.
Follow this method to add a group in Microsoft Entra ID.
Follow this method to add a group in the SCIM integration.
Once your directory sync of choice has been set up and when you add or edit a Matrix Booking Group, you’ll see an option to sync your Matrix Booking group with your Entra ID in the Edit [group type] group pop-up. To sync your Matrix Booking and Entra ID groups:
Select Synchronised with Azure AD.
Begin to enter the AD group name in the text box.
Select the correct AD group from the drop-down list.
Select Save.
To sync your Matrix Booking and SCIM groups, this must be done on the SCIM side.
Notes:
Contact Matrix Booking support if you would like to set up a directory sync.
