info

Onboarding is available for all customers with valid tenants. Test tenants or Contoso tenants are blocked from onboarding. If you need to proceed with onboarding using one of these tenants, please contact support at support@easylife365.cloud to enable it.

Restrict Access to the Admin Interfaces​

Once onboarding is completed, the EasyLife 365 Admin Insiders is managed through Entra ID.

warning

By default, all users in your organization can access the EasyLife 365 Admin Insiders once the consent operation is performed.

We recommend restricting access to a select group of administrators using Entra ID:

  1. Navigate to the Entra ID portal and open Entra ID in your tenant.
  2. Go to Applications -> Enterprise applications and search for the previously consented EasyLife 365 Admin Insiders application.
  3. Go to Properties, change the setting Assignment required to Yes, and click 💾 Save.
  4. Go to Users and groups and assign the users or groups that should maintain access to the EasyLife 365 Admin Insiders.

Control the Visibility of EasyLife 365 Apps in the App Launcher and My Apps​

Once onboarding is complete, you will find two new applications in the Enterprise Applications section of your Entra ID. One application is the end-user facing EasyLife 365 Identity Insiders, and the other is the EasyLife 365 Admin Insiders. The Visible to users? setting in the enterprise application's properties controls whether the application is visible in the Office 365 App Launcher and the My Apps portal.

To make the EasyLife 365 Identity Insiders visible to users:

  1. Navigate to the Entra ID portal and open Entra ID in your tenant.
  2. Go to Applications -> Enterprise applications and search for the app you want to change.
  3. Go to Properties, change the setting Visible to users? to Yes or No depending on your preference, and click 💾 Save.
