Application setup

  • Register new application in Entra admin center

  • In Certificates & secrets create a new Client secret

  • To use the Entra application NG-SOS needs:

    • Directory (tenant) ID
    • Application (client) ID
    • Client secret

Security groups and App roles​

  • In order to set up user roles in NG-SOS 2 options can be used from Entra ID - Security Groups and App roles
  • You can use only one of these options or mix and match them as needed.

NG-SOS roles​

There are 3 supported roles:

  • Admin has access to the Admin Portal. They can manage local user accounts, configure associated agencies for incident sharing, and upload checklists.
  • Dispatcher has access to the NG-SOS Portal and can view all incidents within their assigned agencies.
  • Crew can access shared links for specific incidents—for example, when HEMS requires live video streams or precise location data.

Security groups​

  • For Security groups access to groups in token configuration needs to be set up:

    • Open Entra Admin center, select App registrations -> All applications and select the application.
    • In Token configuration select Add groups claim and select Security groups. Click Save.

  • Open Entra Admin center, select Groups -> All groups

    • Group type - select Security
    • Group name - this is only visible to you
    • Click Create

  • To Assign users to security groups:

    • Open Entra Admin center, select Groups -> All groups

App roles​

  • App roles don't need any special setup in the application (like setting up groups in token configuration for Security groups)

  • Open Entra Admin center, select App registrations -> All applications and select the application.

  • In App roles, click Create app role:

    • Display name - this is only visible to you
