As the group manager, you can configure Nomadesk, so that your managed users will have to authenticate to Microsoft Azure Active Directory, instead of using 'Nomadesk' (Email and password) authentication.
Keep in mind, that once you enable this, all the users in your managed group must have an Azure AD account, that has the same email address as they do on Nomadesk.
NOTE: when Azure AD is enable you are NOT able to log in offline, as the verification happens via Azure AD, which can't be done when offline.
Doing this requires some configuration in both Nomadesk (SAML settings), and your Azure AD.

2. go to active directory
3. go to App registrations -> select New application registration

15. go to Reply URLs -> remove the pre-filled one there -> paste the "SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-POST"-url and click save (don't just copy paste the URL from step 10, but open it in a browser and downloaden the file to view its content)
