Onboarding

To enable EasyLife 365 Collaboration in your organization, please follow all articles in the Getting Started section. We recommend preparing all prerequisites listed below before starting the onboarding process.

Prerequisites​

  • The URL for your EasyLife 365 Onboarding: https://onboarding.easylife365.cloud
  • A global administrator account to consent permissions to EasyLife 365 Collaboration in your Entra ID
  • A Teams (or global) administrator account to install and pin EasyLife 365 Collaboration app using the Teams Admin Center
  • A list of users who will manage EasyLife 365 in your organization
    • Optional: A security group for these accounts

Onboard EasyLife 365 Collaboration​

The onboarding process will guide you through granting the necessary permissions to EasyLife 365 Collaboration and EasyLife 365 Admin:

  • EasyLife 365 Admin: This administrative interface is used to manage EasyLife 365 Collaboration. It utilizes the EasyLife 365 API and Microsoft Graph to perform required operations.
  • EasyLife 365 Collaboration: This web application is used by your organization's users. It is accessible as a standalone web application or integrated with Microsoft Teams. It also uses the EasyLife 365 API and Microsoft Graph for its operations.

To start onboarding, open https://onboarding.easylife365.cloud/wizard/collab and follow the steps. Once you complete the permission initialization steps, you will be redirected to EasyLife 365 Admin to proceed with the configuration of EasyLife 365 Collaboration.

info

Onboarding is available for all customers with valid tenants. Test tenants or Contoso tenants are blocked from onboarding. If you need to proceed with onboarding using one of these tenants, please contact support at support@easylife365.cloud to enable it.

Restrict Access to the Admin Interfaces​

Once onboarding is completed, EasyLife 365 Admin is managed through Entra ID.

warning

By default, all users in your organization can access EasyLife 365 Admin once the consent operation is performed.

We recommend restricting access to a select group of administrators using Entra ID:

  1. Navigate to the Entra ID portal and open Entra ID in your tenant.
  2. Go to Applications -> Enterprise applications and search for the previously consented EasyLife 365 Admin application.
  3. Go to Properties, change the setting Assignment required to Yes, and click 💾 Save.
  4. Go to Users and groups and assign the users or groups that should maintain access to EasyLife 365 Admin.

Control the Visibility of EasyLife 365 Apps in the App Launcher and My Apps​

Once onboarding is complete, you will find two new applications in the Enterprise Applications section of your Entra ID. One application is the end-user facing EasyLife 365 Collaboration, and the other is EasyLife 365 Admin. The Visible to users? setting in the enterprise application's properties controls whether the application is visible in the Office 365 App Launcher and the My Apps portal.

To make EasyLife 365 Collaboration visible to users:

  1. Navigate to the Entra ID portal and open Entra ID in your tenant.
  2. Go to Applications -> Enterprise applications and search for the app you want to change.
  3. Go to Properties, change the setting Visible to users? to Yes or No depending on your preference, and click 💾 Save.
