Unlock the Full Potential of Entra ID in Higher Education 

Higher ed institutions are under mounting pressure to secure complex, dynamic user populations—without compromising usability. 

As more universities modernize their identity ecosystem around Microsoft Entra, the need for complementary tools that strengthen automation, governance, and control has never been greater.

So how do you ensure Entra reaches its full potential across the entire user lifecycle?

This guide breaks down how RapidIdentity works in concert with Microsoft Entra to create a more secure, more flexible, and more automated IAM and IGA framework.

What You’ll Learn

  • Dynamic Group and Team Management: Automatically create, update, and retire groups based on real-time user attributes and affiliation changes.

  • Comprehensive Password Management: Discover password reset capabilities that go far beyond basic SSPR, including intuitive self-service and bidirectional password synchronization across Entra and other connected systems.

  • Near Real-Time Provisioning: Simultaneously provision users into Active Directory and Entra, eliminating delays common with Entra Connect.

  • Flexible Federation Options: Use RapidIdentity as the IDP for Entra—or the reverse—to optimize your authentication experience without sacrificing control.

  • Strategic Integration Approaches: Leverage existing on-prem and Active Directory investments while gradually shifting to Entra's cloud capabilities.
