Onboarding Applications into IAM

About this video

This SkillsBuild video course follows one application through the full onboarding process, from the first request to SSO and provisioning in production. Application onboarding is one of the most common tasks for IAM engineers. It's also a strong project to talk about in interviews.

• Checking which sign-in and provisioning options the app supports
• Mapping attributes, groups and app roles between directory and application
• Configuring an Entra ID enterprise application for SAML or OIDC
• Setting up SCIM provisioning and testing it with pilot users
• Planning deprovisioning, access reviews and ownership after go-live
• Cutover planning, user communication and a rollback plan

What's included

• A start-to-finish walkthrough of one application onboarding
• Explanations of the decisions and trade-offs at each step
• Common onboarding problems and how to resolve them
• A portfolio project: onboard a test app and document every step

Who it's for

• IAM analysts who handle application access requests
• Engineers who onboard SaaS applications to an identity provider
• People who want a realistic project to discuss in interviews
• App owners and project managers working with IAM teams

By the end, you'll know how to plan, configure, test and hand over an application onboarding from start to finish.
