Why Connect Entra?

Connecting Microsoft Entra lets Velatir mirror how your organisation is actually structured. Instead of building and maintaining workspaces by hand, Velatir generates them from your directory and keeps them in step as people join, move, and change teams. The same directory structure also organises activity by team, which powers the department and group breakdowns in Insights.
Connecting Entra is optional. You can always create and manage workspaces manually instead. See Organisations & workspaces.

Generate Workspaces From Your Directory

When you set up your organisation, choose Generate workspaces with Microsoft Entra and pick which directory properties define your structure.

Choose the top-level property

Pick the Entra user property that defines your top-level workspaces, for example Department. Velatir creates one workspace per value.

Optionally nest a second level

Add a second property, such as Office or Group, to nest workspaces beneath the first. You can nest up to two levels.

People are placed automatically

Everyone is assigned to the right workspace based on their directory details, and moved automatically when those details change.

Activity by Team in Insights

Once Entra is connected, activity is organised by your directory structure: department, office, and group. You can filter and break usage down by these across the platform, so you see where AI is being adopted without singling out individuals.

Organised by your structure

Activity is grouped by department, office, and group, so the picture always matches how your organisation is set up.

Team insights

Insights break usage down by department, office, and group, and show where adoption concentrates.

Mapping Device Activity to Teams

So activity captured on a device lands in the right workspace, the browser extension and desktop app match it to your directory structure. The technical setup, including the directory consent step, is covered in Directory context.
