Secured by Microsoft Entra ID

DataverseLink is a portal solution that runs on top of Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory), which means it can leverage all the security features that Entra ID offers, such as conditional access, multi-factor authentication, identity protection, and more. You can also use simple authentication with DataverseLink by using any entity in your environment to let your users log in to the portal. For example, you can use the “Account” entity to let your customers log in with their account information.

DataverseLink connects to your environment securely and reliably through server-to-server (S2S) authentication using an application user3. This application user has a limited security role that you can define to avoid any breach to sensitive data in your environment. DataverseLink also provides rich auditing capabilities to track user activities and data changes.

DataverseLink can be easily managed by any authenticated user through DVLink Studio. However, if you prefer to have our support team handle the installation, configuration, and maintenance of your portal, you can opt for our “Managed Service” package. This service provides you with 16 hours (2 working days) of credit per month to customize, configure, or develop any requirement for your portal. You also get prioritized support via email and the ability to build custom pages or widgets within your credits. Any unused hours can be carried over to the next month.
