We are working with different region and creating active directory users and groups is not one of the process in some regions. Is it possible to use SAML instead of active directory to add users to DM?

Hi Landan,

You can indeed use SAML to integrate with an identity provider like Azure AD. I would even recommend it, because then you can leverage e.g. MFA and conditional access to improve security.

This is documented here: Configuring external authentication via an identity provider using SAML | DataMiner Docs (this page also includes the specifics of Azure AD a bit further down that page).

To add users, you can either use auto-provisioning (=any authenticated user coming in, which is not known yet in DataMiner, will be added to a default group), or you can pick and choose the users or groups to be added. For the latter, DataMiner needs to be able to retrieve the users and groups, and this is documented in the following section on the same page: Configuring external authentication via an identity provider using SAML | DataMiner Docs
