Setting Up Azure Entra ID SSO for Resolve

This article walks you through the process of setting up Single Sign-On (SSO) with Azure Entra ID for Resolve. This setup must be completed in the customer’s own Azure tenant, using the configuration information provided by Resolve.
​

Note: Azure frequently updates their UI, navigation, and wording. If you notice differences, the steps should still closely match the current layout.

Prerequisites

To create and configure a new Enterprise Application, the Azure user completing these steps must have one of the following roles:

  • Application Administrator

  • Cloud Application Administrator

You can verify this in Azure Portal → User → Assigned roles.

Step 1: Open the Enterprise Applications Menu

In the Azure Portal, navigate to:

Azure Active Directory → Enterprise applications

Step 2: Create a New Application

Click + New application.

Step 3: Create a Custom Application

Select + Create your own application.

Step 4: Name and Create the Application

  1. Enter a name for the application (e.g., ResolveBIM or Resolve).
    ​This can be any name the customer prefers.

  2. Select: Integrate any other application you don’t find in the gallery (Non-gallery).

  3. Click Create.

Azure will generate the application and take you to its overview page.

Step 5: Open the Single Sign-On Settings

From the application’s left-side menu:

  • Click Single sign-on
    ​or

  • Click Get started in the Set up single sign-on card.
    ​

Step 6: Choose the SAML Method

Click the SAML tile.

Step 7: Configure SAML Settings

  1. In the Resolve dashboard, click your Profile name in the top-right corner and select:
    ​SSO Config: {domain URL}

    Note: This step must be done by the user assigned as the Resolve SSO administrator.

  2. Scroll to Step 1 and click Download Metadata XML.

  3. In Microsoft Azure, go to the SAML-based sign-on configuration page, then click Upload metadata file.
    ​

    • Upload the XML file you just downloaded.

    • Under Basic SAML Configuration, add the Sign On URL:
      ​https://app.resolvebim.com/saml/login/entra
      ​

Step 8: Assign Users or Groups

Users must be assigned to the application before they can sign in with SSO.

You can:

  • Assign individual users directly
    ​or

  • Assign an Azure Group and manage access via group membership (recommended)

Navigate to:

Enterprise Application → Users and groups → + Add user/group

Step 9: Provide Resolve With Your Metadata URL

  1. In the SAML configuration page in Azure, locate the SAML Certificates section and copy the App Federation Metadata URL.
    ​

  2. Go back to the Resolve SSO config page.

    • Scroll to Step 3: Enter Entra ID Metadata URL.

    • Paste the copied URL and click Save.

Next Steps

Once the metadata URL is submitted (when implemented), Resolve will automatically retrieve your SAML configuration values and complete the setup.
