How to Add "Login with Microsoft Entra" for Your Team

To improve your security, you can configure Microsoft Entra (formerly Azure AD) to allow employees to access Mention Me via Entra logins. This removes the need for passwords and allows authentication management through your Entra console.

User provisioning and role management remains within Mention Me.

Feature Overview

Mention Me supports SSO authentication via Microsoft Entra:

• Verify users using their Entra login credentials
• Email/password access will be disabled once enabled
• Users across multiple brands can access via any supported method based on each brand’s configuration

Only users with email addresses that match your configured Entra domain(s) will be able to log in. All others will lose access.

Preliminary Requirements

• An active Microsoft Entra account
• At least one domain registered and managed by your organisation
• Users with email addresses under your verified domain(s)

What You’ll Need

• Access to Microsoft Entra admin tools
• Admin privileges within your Mention Me platform

Setup in Microsoft Entra

1. Log in to the Microsoft Entra (Azure) Admin Console
2. Create a new Application (typically as a Regular Web App)
3. Name the application — e.g., “Mention Me”
4. Assign access and save with default permissions
5. Only default scopes (email and name) are required
6. Add the following Sign-in Redirect URI: 
   https://mention-me.com/oauth/client/redirect/xxxx 
   (Replace xxxx with your Merchant ID)
7. Click Save
8. Copy your Client ID and Client Secret — You’ll need these in Mention Me

Mention Me has both Live and Demo environments. Add separate redirect URIs to Entra for each:

• Live: https://mention-me.com/oauth/client/redirect/xxxx
• Demo: https://demo.mention-me.com/oauth/client/redirect/yyyy

You can reuse the same Client ID and Client Secret for both platforms.

Setup in Mention Me

1. Log in to Mention Me as an Admin and go to SSO configuration. For Demo access, use this link.
2. Select Microsoft Entra from the SSO options dropdown
3. Enter your settings:
   • Client ID and Client Secret from Entra
   • Domains: Entra-managed email domain(s)

Your Entra login URL may look like: https://login.microsoftonline.com/[tenant_id]/v2.0

Only input domains your organisation controls. Do not add unverified domains.

Once saved: All users will be required to use Entra for login, and email/password access will be disabled for domains you've added. Users won’t be logged out immediately, but they’ll be redirected through Entra upon next login.

Default Permissions

When users authenticate via Entra, Mention Me can automatically apply roles by environment:

• Demo: Users are granted “Marketing” role
• Live: Users are granted “Customer Service” role

You can enable this by ticking the checkbox in the Mention Me SSO setup interface. Admins can still adjust roles manually post-login.

Disabling Entra Authentication

If Entra authentication is disabled in future:

• Users will revert to email/password logins
• Any users created during the SSO period won’t have passwords; they’ll need to perform a password reset (or an admin can trigger one) to access again
