Manage your external users in and out of application roles very easily through the Apporetum user interface.
You can enable an administrator in your trusted external partner to manage who is provisioned/deprovisioned from specified roles in your applications. Of course, all the guardrails you have applied to the role will be automatically enforced by Apporetum, ensuring that your delegates are complying with the policy that applies to the role.
It is common to hear that there are a large number of guest accounts in an Azure AD with no real oversight/insight as to who gave that user access and to what they were given access to.
With Apporetum, you can see what any external user has access to – giving you critical insight that enables you to manage the digital relationship in accordance with the risk you are managing (right fit for risk).
If your Trusted Partner advises you that they are experiencing a cyber event and that some of their users’ accounts are compromised, you want to know very quickly if those same users have access to your information. Even more importantly, you want to be able to take a risk-appropriate response.
Apporetum gives you
Visibility of access – Apporetum provides a single unified view of access across your ICT ecosystem. You can easily see and filter access to just an external partner (or an individual who works for an external partner) and get an immediate understanding of how much access the external organisation has within your environment.
A tool to respond proportionately to the risk, ie, you can suspend a user, a role, an application or an entire external party (or any combination). This means you can shut down the digital interactions which are considered at risk, you can shut down everything, or you can shut down certain people and certain roles – whatever the incident response demands.
A tool to quickly recover back to business as usual. Once your partner advises you that their cyber incident is over, you can quickly restore all access back to the normal operating posture, ensuring that the disruption to business operations is minimal.

Apporetum leverages all of the invitation and enrolment functionality that is available in the Microsoft Azure AD B2B channel. Apporetum provides a control plane for you to see and manage these external users.
The Azure B2B channel is an excellent mechanism to assist organisations to sustain business services even though users may be moving in or out of their internal workforce. Users can participate in applications as external guest users even after they leave the organisation. This is also very useful for Machinery of Government changes in the government context.
Collaboration with external users is all about streamlining how you operate the digital relationship you share with those people who you trust outside your organisation. Your trusted partners might be external to your organisation, but working securely and appropriately with them is key to an efficient digital transformation. Apporetum takes control of that ‘digital trust’. You can even delegate user administration to your Trusted Partner.
Detecting and responding to access which shouldn’t exist is a critical cyber capability.
