If your organization uses Microsoft 365, Azure AD, or Outlook, you can allow users to sign in to Whistleblower Software using their Microsoft account. This applies whether your organization uses Microsoft 365, Azure AD, or Outlook as all three use the same Microsoft OAuth 2.0 login.
If your organization requires SAML-based Azure integration with centralized access control, use the Setting Up SAML 2.0 with Microsoft Azure guide instead.
How to Enable Microsoft Login
Go to Settings > Security.
Under Login options, toggle on Login with Microsoft.
Save your changes.
Once enabled, users will see a Login with Microsoft button on the login page. They sign in using the Microsoft account that matches their email address in Whistleblower Software.
Only administrators, system technician and user-defined users with access to security settings can make these changes.
First-Time Login
If you are the first user in the system, you must first log in and set a password using the invitation email you received. After that, you can use Microsoft login going forward.
Important Notes
The email address of the Microsoft account must match exactly the email address of the user in Whistleblower Software.
Users must already exist in Whistleblower Software before they can sign in. Enabling Microsoft login does not create users automatically.
You can keep password login enabled alongside Microsoft login, or disable it so users can only sign in via Microsoft.
Troubleshooting
If users see a permission error when trying to sign in with Microsoft, your IT administrator may need to grant consent for the application in Azure AD before Microsoft login will work. Ask your IT department to approve the application from their end.
