Does Procurement VMS integrate with Microsoft Entra ID?
Procurement VMS has not yet confirmed its Microsoft Entra ID integration, so treat this page as a draft. A Microsoft Entra ID integration gives users single sign-on through OpenID Connect or SAML and can provision accounts and groups from the directory, so access to the procurement platform follows your identity policies.confirm
Most Microsoft 365 organizations already have a directory that knows who works there. Procurement tools that keep their own user list drift away from it.
With Entra in front, sign-in follows conditional access and multi-factor rules, and accounts and groups follow the directory.
What syncs between Microsoft Entra ID and Procurement VMS?
Entra ID is the system of record for identity, and the flow is one-way into the procurement platform. The table shows what a sign-in and provisioning integration covers.
| Data | Microsoft Entra ID record | Direction | When | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sign-inconfirm | OIDC or SAML assertion | Microsoft Entra ID → Procurement VMS | At every sign-in | Entra authenticates the user and tells the procurement platform who they are. |
| User accountsconfirm | users | Microsoft Entra ID → Procurement VMS | On assignment and on change | Provisioned from the directory so accounts match who is assigned. |
| Groupsconfirm | groups | Microsoft Entra ID → Procurement VMS | On change | Group membership can map to roles such as requester, approver or admin. |
| Deactivationconfirm | account enabled status | Microsoft Entra ID → Procurement VMS | When a user is disabled | Removes access when someone leaves. |
How the Microsoft Entra ID connection works, step by step
Setup is split between an Entra administrator and the Procurement VMS team.

Who this fits
Entra ID is used from small to very large organizations, so the number of groups and the strictness of conditional access decide the effort.
SMB · fits
Microsoft 365 for a small team. Sign-in through Entra with two or three groups mapped to roles.
Mid-market · fits
Conditional access and multi-factor rules already in place. Map groups to roles and test deprovisioning.
Enterprise · fits
Many groups, strict joiner-mover-leaver controls and audit requirements. Map groups to roles deliberately and test deprovisioning first.
Who does what
What to plan for in Microsoft Entra ID
Only the first item cites Microsoft's documentation, and only for app registration. Verify the rest against Microsoft Learn.
App registration comes first
Microsoft's own guides register an application in the Entra tenant and add a client secret for authentication 1. Plan who owns the secret and when it expires.
Secrets and certificates expireverify source
Client secrets and certificates have an expiry. Put the renewal date on a calendar, because an expired secret looks like an outage.
Assignment controls who is provisionedverify source
Only users and groups assigned to the enterprise application are provisioned. Check assignment before blaming the sync.
Conditional access applies to sign-inverify source
Sign-in follows your conditional access policies, which is the point. Test with a user who is subject to multi-factor authentication.
Guests and contractorsverify source
Decide whether guest accounts can request or approve, and how they are deprovisioned.
Security and access
Entra applies your existing identity policies to sign-in, so the procurement platform does not need its own password rules.
- Sign-in follows your Entra conditional access and multi-factor policies.
- A registered application authenticates with credentials the Entra administrator controls 1.
- Map groups to roles so that removing someone from a group removes the access.verify source
- Procurement VMS describes its own security posture as SOC 2 Type II aligned and CCPA compliant, with role-based access control 2. Ask for current security documentation during scoping.

Microsoft Entra ID integration FAQ
Procurement VMS has not yet confirmed its Microsoft Entra ID integration, so there is no published support to point to. Use the form on this page and we'll tell you the current status for your setup.
Through OpenID Connect or SAML for sign-in, using an application registered in the Entra tenant 1, and SCIM provisioning for accounts and groups.
Typically sign-in, user accounts, groups and deactivation. Direction is set per record type. The table above shows the proposed split.
Scope sets the timeline: what moves, whether it moves one way or both, and how much mapping your Microsoft Entra ID setup needs. Procurement VMS states that the platform as a whole typically goes live in 4 to 8 weeks 2. The Microsoft Entra ID connection is scoped within that timeline.
Entra's provisioning service can create and update accounts through a SCIM endpoint, if the application provides one. Sign-in alone does not create accounts.
Yes. Sign-in goes through Entra, so conditional access and multi-factor rules apply.
