IN THIS ARTICLE:
If your organisation is new to Environment Online, this page will help you understand how to register using a Microsoft Work Account (Microsoft Entra ID).
This option is suited to organisations with IT teams that centrally manage identity and access.
Before you start
Your organisation will need:
- Microsoft Entra ID P1 licence
- an IT Administrator to complete setup
- a nominated Service Administrator
- a completed Authorisation form (Form 2 - Microsoft Work Account).
Step-by-step setup
Step 1 – Complete the Microsoft Work Account setup
Your organisation’s IT Administrator must complete the Microsoft Entra ID setup requirements, including:
- creating the Environment Online application, which will generate a tenant ID code needed for step 2
- creating both admin and user groups within the new Microsoft Work application, which will be needed for step 2
- ensuring multi-factor authentication (MFA) for relevant users
- configuring the required app permissions (if applicable).
Step 2 – Complete the Authorisation form
- Download the Authorisation form.
- Complete the relevant section for the Microsoft Work Account option.
- Nominate your organisation’s Service Administrator.
- Ensure the form is signed by someone with authority to bind the organisation.
Step 3 – Email the form to EO Support
Send the completed form to eosupport@dwer.wa.gov.au.
EO Support will use the information in the form to create or update your organisation’s entity profile in Environment Online.
Step 4 – EO Support sets up your organisation
Once EO Support processes your form:
- the organisation’s entity profile is created or updated
- the Service Administrator and IT team are notified
- Microsoft Work Account login integration is enabled.
If your organisation already exists in Environment Online, EO Support will update the profile instead of creating a new one.
Step 5 – Add Service Administrators and Service Users
After Environment Online confirms setup:
Your IT team must assign users to either of the appropriate Microsoft Entra ID groups:
- Service Administrators - manage access for the organisation in Environment Online
- Service Users - act on behalf of the organisation in Environment Online
This step ensures users are granted the correct Environment Online permissions.
Step 6 – Log in using a Microsoft Work Account
Users log in by selecting: Login with your Microsoft Work Account.
Environment Online will authenticate using your organisation’s standard MFA process.
If a user logs in but cannot see the organisation, they must contact the IT Administrator to confirm they are assigned to the group.
