GDAP Invite Wizard

Overview

The GDAP Invite Wizard simplifies setting up GDAP relationships with your clients by assigning the correct roles and ensuring the CIPP-SAM application is correctly configured for each tenant. To get started with generating GDAP invites inside CIPP, navigate to Tenant Administration -> GDAP Management -> Invite Wizard and follow the instructions.

Key Points

• Creation: The Invite Wizard allows you to create a single-use invite with defined roles. The relationship created will last for a maximum duration of 730 days, using a GUID as the random name.

• Validity: Invites are valid for 90 days and must be accepted by a Global Administrator in the customer tenant.

• Usability: If invites are not used, they can be found on the GDAP Invite List page to restart the onboarding process if necessary.

Wizard Steps

Step 1: Select Roles

Select which roles you want to add to the GDAP relationship from the mapped GDAP Roles.

CIPP Recommended Roles: Click on Use CIPP Recommended Roles and Settings to automatically configure roles. This option will create 12 new groups in your Azure AD if they do not exist and add the CIPP user to them. For more information on which roles will have groups created for them, you can check out the Recommended Roles page.

Step 2: Invite Options

• Number of Invites: Use the slider to choose how many invites you want to generate.

Step 3: Review and Confirm

• Confirm Selections: Review the roles and settings to be applied to each GDAP relationship.

• Submit: Click Submit to generate the invites.

Post-Invite Actions

After submission, you will see as many rows as invites you've requested, with two URLs in a table:

• Invite Link: This URL is for the Global Administrator in your client tenant to accept the invite.

• Onboarding Link: This URL is to be used by a CIPP admin to complete the onboarding process. It should not be used under a client account.

You must add your CIPP service account user to the groups created in your Azure Active Directory after executing the invite wizard for the first time. These groups will be in your Azure Active Directory with the name "M365 GDAP {Role Name}"

Role Management Considerations

Any additional users who need access to your Microsoft CSP Tenants must be manually added to the relevant security groups.

• Create a new security group in your partner tenant with the Microsoft Entra roles can be assigned to the group option set to Yes. Example: GDAP_CIPP_Recommended_Roles.

• Add users to this group.

• Add this group to the individual GDAP security groups that CIPP created. Example: M365 GDAP Exchange Administrator.
