Requirements

• You have access to the Entra ID
• You can create and update groups
• You can add/delete users in groups
• You grant Flip read permissions for the users and groups endpoints of the Microsoft Graph API (we prefer application permission instead of a delegated one. With the delegated permission we need a test user with disabled MFA)

Rules and best practices

Once configured, the Flip Syncer reads users and groups in your Entra ID and sends them to the Flip app.

To standardize the configuration, you should create groups and set admins according to some rules.

• All groups that you create for Flip in your Entra ID should have a prefix. In this way, the Flip will only read groups that have this prefix. Please build the prefix in this way: Flip-App-Group_Development_Stuttgart. The Syncer will cut the name at the first underscore _ and understand all words after it as the name of the channel on Flip. All underscores after the first one are interpreted by the Flip Syncer as space characters. The name of Flip-App-Group_Development_Stuttgart will be Development Stuttgart in the Flip app. You can set in the admin console options for every channel e.g. hiding the member list, deactivating the download of PDFs, etc.
• To set channel admins, you can set for every group in your Entra ID a group owner. This group owner will be the admin of the channel in the Flip app. Otherwise, you can set channel admins manually in the Flip app. In the latter case, the Flip Syncer will not handle them.
• To set system admins for the Flip app, you need to create a group in your Entra ID containing these users. The Flip Syncer will set the users in this group as system admins on Flip. ATTENTION: for this group, do not use a prefix, since this group does not need to exist as a channel in the Flip app. You only need to communicate to your CSE contact person the name of this group.
• You need to create a group that contains all Flip users. The Flip Syncer will only use this group for creating the users on Flip.

Please communicate to Flip all the information on the above points.
