Spaarnesant uses Microsoft Entra ID as the source for ESIS. An active Entra ID account results in an ESIS user with single sign-on and access to the right schools; when the account is disabled, ESIS follows automatically.
Connected systems: Entra ID → ESIS

The situation
Spaarnesant is a school board with several schools. Staff have a Microsoft account in Entra ID. For pupil administration they work in ESIS. Without an integration, every user has to be created there separately, linked to the right school and closed again when they leave.
What the integration does
- The account leads. At Spaarnesant the Entra ID account decides whether someone is active. When the account is enabled, the employee belongs in ESIS.
- Joiners. A new active user is created in ESIS and signs in with their own Microsoft account.
- Schools. The location in Entra ID decides which schools someone can access. Someone who changes school gets the new school and loses the old one.
- Leavers. When the account is disabled in Entra ID, access to ESIS goes as well.
- Updates. Changes in name, email address or location are passed on to ESIS.
What it changed
Managing ESIS users follows managing Microsoft accounts. IT enables or disables an account in Entra ID and ESIS follows. Access per school follows the employee's location.
