How it works

Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) business-to-business (B2B) collaboration is a feature that lets you invite guest users to collaborate with your organization. This feature allows us to authenticate users using an Identity account in Azure AD for logging in to the Sitecore admin page.

In Sitecore, we use federated authentication to let users log in to Sitecore admin page through Azure AD. More about Sitecore federated authentication here.

Below is the flowchart of the Azure B2B process using Sitecore:

  1. User login to Sitecore CMS using their email address that registered in Cloudvanti.
  2. Sitecore CMS backend will get the Identity User data to Cloudvanti Azure AD.
  3. Sitecore CMS backend will process to authenticate it and assign a role based on the Identity User data.
  4. User will redirect to the Sitecore CMS backend dashboard based on the role that already set for the user.

Azure B2B Implementation

In Cloudvanti, the Azure B2B already set up on your Sitecore website. You can immediately log in to Sitecore with your Cloudvanti Azure AD account by clicking the Azure AD button as seen in the image below.
