JumpCloud offers direct integration with Microsoft\u00ae 365\u2122 (M365) so you can manage M365 users from the JumpCloud Admin Portal. Their passwords are synced with their JumpCloud password the first time they log in to their JumpCloud User Portal after they\u2019re associated with M365.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This integration with JumpCloud allows for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can integrate M365 with JumpCloud in the following two ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you import existing M365 accounts and bind them to the M365 directory you\u2019ve enabled for sync, JumpCloud \u201ctakes over\u201d the accounts and becomes the manager and password authority for those accounts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Account provisioning involves creating and maintaining user accounts and their attributes. New M365 accounts can be provisioned in M365 or in JumpCloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When an account is created in M365, a temporary password can be sent to an alternate email address, which lets users gain access to their account. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you create a user account in M365, users are provisioned in the following way:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you create new users in JumpCloud that don\u2019t exist in Microsoft, JumpCloud creates user accounts (provisions) with the JumpCloud user\u2019s credentials and attributes. For the new account to be provisioned to M365, the account must have an email address of the primary M365 domain that is synced with JumpCloud. This is useful if your organization intends to use JumpCloud to manage your M365 deployment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When creating an account in JumpCloud, an activation email can be sent to an alternate email address. Alternatively, admins can set a temporary password during creation.
