Creating a Q2 Relationship Insights application within Azure Active Directory to support Single Sign-On

If you'd like to set up PrecisionLenderQ2 Relationship Insights, powered by PrecisionLender authentication via a Microsoft Azure Active Directory, you will first need to create a new Enterprise Application within your Azure AD.

  • Log into your Azure Portal ( https://portal.azure.com ), navigate to your Azure Active Directory, and then click on Enterprise Applications.

Enterprise applications All applications page with the New application button available.
  • Click on New application and choose Non-gallery application.

Add your own app options showing Application you’re developing, On-premises application, and Non-gallery application.
  • Enter a name for the application such as PrecisionLenderQ2 Relationship Insights.

Add an application page showing the Non-gallery application option and the Add your own application pane with an application name entered.
  • If you'd like for any AD user to be able to attempt a login regardless of assignment within your AD, go to the Properties tab and change User assignments required to No. Note that users will still need to have an active user account within PrecisionLenderQ2 Relationship Insights to actually log into the system. This option merely allows them to attempt the SSO login process past the point of your AD.
