Our interface between AFAS Profit and Microsoft Entra ID keeps your employee data consistent and secure — automatically. When someone joins, leaves, or changes roles in AFAS, the interface ensures that Microsoft Entra ID reflects these changes in real-time. This avoids manual updates, reduces the risk of errors, and supports a seamless onboarding and offboarding process.
Simple and Secure Authentication
Authentication with Entra ID uses OAuth, making the integration secure and easy to set up without complex configuration.
Flexible Group Assignments
You can automatically assign users to groups in Entra ID based on information in AFAS. For example:
Link Teams or departments in AFAS to specific security or Microsoft Teams groups
Map certain job titles to specific groups
Reflect organizational hierarchy from AFAS in group memberships
This gives you flexibility to manage access rights dynamically, based on your HR structure.
Upfront Requirements
To link existing Entra ID accounts with AFAS:
The employee number must be filled in under the EmployeeId field in Entra ID.
Alternatively, we can match accounts based on email address, and then import the AFAS employee numbers — this one-time process requires about 4 hours of additional effort, as it involves careful validation.
Custom Configuration Options
Depending on how you want group assignments to work, custom setup in AFAS and/or Entra ID might be necessary. This depends on the logic and structure you'd like to apply, and we’re happy to advise on the best approach.
