Frictionless User Management and Login

Extranet User Manager (EUM) makes permissions management and user onboarding effortless. Built on top of Azure AD B2B, it offers a fully customized and seamless onboarding experience for your partners. No more worries about credential management, as partners can sign in effortlessly with their own personal or corporate email. Authenticating against Azure AD allows them to log in with SSO or One-TIme Passcode, providing a seamless experience. In addition, EUM Admin enables delegation of user management, allowing partner-designated users to add and remove users without needing any privileges in your Azure portal. With the Azure AD users and groups Power BI Dashboard, admins gain valuable insights into member and group activity, user sign-ins and more, empowering them to provide prompt support to their users. By leveraging these features, business users directly involved with partners can manage what they access, without needing to burden IT to configure permissions manually. With User Manager, you can embrace the benefits of simplified user management, increased efficiency, enhanced security, and an optimized end-user experience.

This can be fully customized to provide a quote based on your organization's pricing model, or can be removed from the lead registration form altogether. Once the registration form is submitted, the lead record and opportunity are created in the organization's underlying Dynamics 365 environment. In doing so, internal stakeholders are instantly made aware of pipeline updates and can provide timely support to partners. Integrating partner portal workflows with an underlying CRM ensures that there is no duplication of effort, thus enhancing operational efficiencies and ensuring the lead/opportunity data is consistent across all platforms.

Partner Workspace Request and Provisioning

A key feature of the User Manager tool is providing a simple way to set up collaboration spaces in Microsoft 365, including the ability to provision Microsoft Teams and SharePoint sites from a straightforward request form. Once the required information is entered into the form, EUM's automations kick in to provision Microsoft 365 Groups that are custom templated to fit your organization's needs.

Below are some examples of EUM site templates available in the User Manager tool. Once a user fills out one of the forms, a Logic App is triggered to generate the pre-templated components included in the chosen template. This could include:
