It will open another page where we have 2 options Settings and Mappers.
We need to configure the following 4 different mappers
Scroll to the top of the page and click on 'Mappers', located next to the 'Settings' tab. Here, you'll create mappings for various user attributes.
Username Mapper:
For this Mapper, the Mapper Type will be “Username Template Importer” from the drop-down menu
The template will be ${ATTRIBUTE.http://schemas/xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/name}
Firstname Mapper:
For this Mapper, the Mapper Type will be “Attribute Importer” from the drop-down menu.
The Attribute Name will be the AD schema http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/givenname
The User Attribute Name will be “firstName”.
Lastname Mapper:
For this Mapper, the Mapper Type will be “Attribute Importer” from the drop-down menu.
The Attribute Name will be the AD schema http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/surname
The User Attribute Name will be “lastName”.
Email mapper:

The Attribute Name will be the AD schema http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/emailaddress

Once all the mappers are configured it looks like the following:
Sign-in with AzureAD SSO from LightBeam login page.
Once you click on the Sign in with Azure AD option from the login page, it redirects to Microsoft and asks to select the user and provide credentials.
Once you have successfully logged in, the LightBeam Dashboard will be displayed.
On the User Management screen, you will find a list of users along with their respective roles.
By default, when a user is onboarded from Azure AD to the LightBeam system, they are assigned the "View Only" role.
However, an admin can modify the "View Only" role to any other available role within the system.
As Azure AD users begin to log in to the LightBeam app, all the successfully logged-in users will be listed on the user management page.
