SmartDEM – Entra ID Configuration Guide

This guide explains how your IT administrator can configure Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) so that users do not see a permission consent screen when signing into SmartDEM for the first time.

How to Pre-Authorize the SmartDEM Application and Remove User Consent Prompts

This guide explains how your IT administrator can configure Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) so that users do not see a permission consent screen when signing into SmartDEM for the first time.

By granting admin consent, you authorise SmartDEM for your organisation, enabling smooth sign-in and enforcing centralised permission governance.

1. Required Permissions

SmartDEM requires the following standard authentication permissions:

Permission Type	Permission	Purpose
Microsoft Graph (Delegated)	User.Read	Basic user profile access needed for sign-in
OpenID Connect	openid, email, profile	Identity claims for authentication
Optional Extras	offline_access	Enables token refresh without requiring users to re-authenticate

These are minimal, industry-standard permissions for enterprise single sign-on.

2. Option A — Grant Admin Consent via Direct URL (Quickest & Recommended)

SmartDEM provides a dedicated admin consent URL your organisation's Entra ID administrator can use to pre-authorise the app.

Admin Consent URL

Click (or paste into browser):

https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/adminconsent?client_id=89910b4a-9326-45ac-8292-aeab2a54a7f1

Steps:

1. Sign in using an account with one of these roles:

   • Global Administrator

   • Cloud Application Administrator

   • Privileged Role Administrator

2. You will be shown the list of permissions SmartDEM requires.

3. Click Accept.

3. Option B — Grant Admin Consent Using the Azure Portal

If you prefer to configure SmartDEM manually through the Azure portal, follow these steps.

Step 1 — Sign in to the Microsoft Entra Admin Centre

Go to:

https://entra.microsoft.com/

Sign in using an account with admin permissions.

Step 2 — Locate the SmartDEM Application

Depending on whether any user has already initiated sign-in, SmartDEM may or may not already appear.

If SmartDEM is already visible:

1. Navigate to: Identity → Applications → Enterprise Applications

2. Search for: SmartDEM or search using the Client ID:

89910b4a-9326-45ac-8292-aeab2a54a7f1

Select the application.

If SmartDEM does NOT appear yet:

You can manually add it.

1. Go to: Enterprise Applications → + New Application

2. Choose "Create your own application"

3. Select "Integrate any other application you don't find in the gallery"

4. Enter: SmartDEM

5. Once created, go to: Properties → Application ID and replace it with the actual App ID if needed (SmartDEM will overwrite metadata after first login).

Step 3 — Grant Admin Consent

Inside the SmartDEM application:

1. Go to: Permissions (or: Security → Permissions)

2. Review the listed permissions

3. Click Grant admin consent for <TenantName>

4. Approve the permissions when prompted

4. Optional — Assign Users or Groups

If SmartDEM requires assigned access:

1. Go to: Enterprise Applications → SmartDEM → Users and Groups

2. Click Add user/group

3. Add either:

   • Individual users

   • Security groups

   • Admin roles
