How to Set Up and Manage User Synchronization with Simplylearn e-learning platform and Azure AD
Introduction
In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to enable user synchronization using Simplylearn e-learning platform. This feature allows for seamless management of user profiles by syncing with Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). By integrating user sync, you can automate the synchronization of users, ensuring that changes in Azure AD, such as new users, removals, or updates, are automatically reflected in WordPress.
1: Open the Azure Portal
Before you begin, make sure you have access to your Azure AD tenant and App registration.
2: Set API Permissions
In the App registration, select API permissions.
Click + Add permission and add the required permissions based on the features you need.
After adding the permissions, click Grant admin consent to apply the changes.

3: Create a Client Secret
Go to Certificates & Secrets in the App registration.
Click + New client secret.
Save, then copy the Value of the secret. Store it in a safe place, as you won’t be able to retrieve it again after navigating away.

4: Add External User
To allow the Simplylearn support team to assist with the setup, please ensure that [email protected] is added as an external user in your Azure AD tenant. This will allow our team to access the necessary configurations.
5: Contact Simplylearn support
After completing the above steps and securing your Client Secret, please contact Simplylearn Support and provide the Client Secret. Our team will then assist you with the remaining configuration steps to complete the user synchronization setup on the Simplylearn platform.
