How do I activate the Argus x Azure AD SSO integration

On the Omni plan, register an app in the Azure Portal, then enter its Client ID, Tenant ID and Callback URL under Settings > SSO Management to enable Microsoft sign-in.

Azure AD single sign-on is available on the Omni plan. You register an app in the Azure Portal, then link it to Argus from Settings > SSO Management, so your team can sign in with their Microsoft account.

What you need before you start

  • The Azure AD SSO integration is included on the Omni plan only. If you're not on this plan, contact your Account Manager to discuss upgrading.
  • Access to your organisation's Azure Portal with permission to configure an App Registration.
  • Administrator access to your Argus Tracking account.

How do I activate the Azure AD SSO integration?

  1. Sign in to the Azure Portal.
  2. Select the menu icon in the top left corner, then select Azure Active Directory in the sidebar.
  3. Select App Registrations, then select an existing App Registration (or create one for this integration).
  4. Go to API permissions in the sidebar and confirm the app has at least the User.Read permission. This is added automatically when a new app is created.
  5. Go to Overview and copy the Application (client) ID and the Directory (tenant) ID.
  6. In your Argus Tracking Dashboard, go to Settings > SSO Management and enter the Client ID and Tenant ID from the previous step. Select the blue Save button.
  7. A new Callback URL field appears under Tenant ID. Copy this URL.
  8. Back in Azure AD, go to Authentication > Web and paste the Callback URL into the Redirect URI field. Scroll down, tick the ID tokens checkbox, and select the blue Save button.
  9. Go back to the Argus Tracking sign-in page, enter your email address, and select Sign in with Microsoft.
  10. Accept the Microsoft permissions prompt. If the email you entered is recognised in Argus, you're redirected straight to your Argus Dashboard.

How do I know it worked?

After accepting the Microsoft permissions prompt, you land on your Argus Dashboard without needing to enter an Argus password. From then on, users with a recognised email can sign in using Sign in with Microsoft.

What if it doesn't work?

  • You're not offered SSO Management under Settings: confirm your account is on the Omni plan — contact your Account Manager if you need to upgrade.
  • Sign-in fails after accepting the Microsoft prompt: check the email address you entered matches an existing Argus Tracking user record.
  • The Callback URL doesn't match: re-copy it from Settings > SSO Management and paste it exactly into the Azure AD Redirect URI field, then save again in both places.

If you're still stuck, contact Argus support.
