Entra ID SSO Login

Login with Azure AD - Consent Experience

In this article, we will look at how you can use your Entra ID accounts (also known as Azure AD / Office 365 / Work/School account) to login to CloudLabs Portals (Admin Portal, Learner portal etc.)

Login Experience Based on Security Configurations

​Depending upon your organizational security configurations controlled by your Enteprise IT, you may have different experience when signing into CloudLabs Admin portal for the first time. Once you login successfully for the first time, subsequent logins will not require any consent or special configurations.

We recommend you to try following options in given sequence to determine the applicable workflow for your organization.

1. Requires Self-Consent for Accessing third party Apps

If your organization has allowed users to sign-in to third party apps with Entra ID(Azure AD) without any restrictions, you'd need to give self-consent to access your Entra ID Profile (Read access to name and email address, no other permissions are required.).

You may follow below-steps to login to CloudLabs Admin Portal with AAD Account and give self-consent.

• Navigate to https://portal.cloudlabs.ai in a modern browser and Select "Work or School Account" on sign in page.

• Once you sign in with your AAD account, you will be prompted to accept permissions requested. Please validate that CloudLabs is a verified app by "Spektra Systems LLC", a verified publisher as indicated.

• Click Accept and you will be logged into CloudLabs Admin Portal. You only need to give consent once, so subsequent logins will take you directly to the Portal.

Please continue reading about other options if this does not work for you or you do not see option to Accept the consent requirement.

2. Requires Approval from Admin through Approval Workflow​

Some organizations may not allow users to give self-consent to third party apps (Including verified apps, such as CloudLabs by Spektra Systems). Your organization may have policy in place for users to request approval while logging into third party apps.

You may follow the steps below to login to CloudLabs Admin Portal with Entra ID (Work or School Account) and request approval of your IT Admin.

• • Navigate to https://portal.cloudlabs.ai in a modern browser and Select "Work or School Account" on sign in page.

• Once you sign in with your Entra ID (Azure AD) account, you will be prompted to send approval request to your enterprise admin. Please validate that CloudLabs is a verified app by "Spektra Systems LLC", a verified publisher as indicated. Once you submit, the request will be sent to your Admin for approval.

We recommend you contact your IT admin for further steps. You may share the documentation link along with following reference MS docs with your enterprise admin team.

2. How to review and take action on consent requests - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/manage-apps/review-admin-consent-requests

Please continue reading about other options if this does not work for you.

3. Requires Approval from Admin through Explicit Whitelisting of CloudLabs App​

If your organization does not allow self-consent and does not have approval workflow configured in your organization tenant, you will need to reach out to your IT Admin team for explicitly whitelisting the CloudLabs App for AAD Login.

We recommend you share the following steps with your IT Admin team for them to whitelist CloudLabs Apps.

• • Navigate to https://portal.cloudlabs.ai in a modern browser and Select "Work or School Account" on sign in page.

• Once you sign in with your Entra ID account(This account must have Global Admin rights), you will have an option to grant consent on behalf of organization. Please select the checkbox and click submit.

All users of your organization will now be able to access CloudLabs App without any consent prompts.
