Microsoft Entra ID Single Sign-On (SSO) with Ramp — Implementation

This implementation service connects Ramp — the finance operations platform for corporate cards, expense management, and bill payments — to Microsoft Entra ID for SAML single sign-on, so employees access Ramp with their existing work account and your Entra ID security controls govern access to financial data.

Timeline 5 daysService owner Roman SotnikAzure
01 — Overview

What this engagement is

Ramp is a finance operations platform used for corporate cards, expense management, bill payments, and accounting automation, and it supports SAML single sign-on with Microsoft Entra ID. IT Partner integrates Ramp with your existing Entra ID tenant: configuring the enterprise application, exchanging SSO metadata and certificates, assigning the agreed users or groups, mapping the attributes and claims Ramp requires, and validating sign-in end to end. Routing Ramp sign-in through Entra ID reduces password friction and lets your existing multi-factor authentication, Conditional Access, and Identity Protection policies protect financial data where your licensing supports them.

02 — Outcomes

Success criteria

01Ramp is configured to use Microsoft Entra ID as the identity provider for single sign-on using the SSO method supported by the customer’s Ramp tenant.
02Designated pilot users or groups can sign in to Ramp using their Entra ID work accounts without using a separate Ramp password, where Ramp supports this flow.
03Required user attributes and claims are mapped and validated for the agreed Ramp SSO configuration.
04Application assignment is configured for the agreed users or groups in Microsoft Entra ID.
05MFA and conditional access behavior is validated where the customer has appropriate Microsoft Entra licensing and existing policies, or where app-specific policy configuration is agreed in scope.
06A basic handover is completed, including configuration summary, test results, and administrator guidance for future support.

08 — Fine print

Limitations & technical notes

!Final configuration options depend on the SSO capabilities available in the customer’s Ramp tenant and the Ramp plan/licensing in use.
!Microsoft Entra features such as conditional access, identity protection, and advanced reporting require appropriate Microsoft licensing.
!SSO improves authentication consistency but does not by itself provision users, remove users, or correct inaccurate identity data.
!If existing Ramp users have mismatched email addresses or identifiers, additional remediation may be required before SSO works reliably.
!Existing user sessions, saved passwords, or app-specific access behavior may persist until Ramp or browser sessions expire or are revoked.
!A controlled pilot is recommended before broad enablement because authentication changes can affect user access to Ramp.
!The 5-day duration assumes timely client access, administrator availability, required approvals, and no blocking vendor or licensing issues.
!Any Ramp vendor-side limitations, outages, or support delays may affect the implementation schedule.
09 — Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is Microsoft Entra ID Single Sign-On (SSO) with Ramp Implementation?

Microsoft Entra ID Single Sign-On (SSO) with Ramp Implementation connects Ramp — the finance operations platform for corporate cards, expense management, and bill payments — to Microsoft Entra ID for single sign-on, so employees access Ramp with their existing work account and one password.

What is included in this Ramp SSO implementation service?

IT Partner configures the Ramp application in Microsoft Entra ID, exchanges the SAML metadata and certificate settings between Entra ID and Ramp, sets up user and group assignment and the required attribute claims, validates sign-in with pilot users, and provides handover notes covering the final configuration.

How long does the Microsoft Entra ID SSO with Ramp implementation take?

The listed duration is 5 days, following the published plan: kickoff, readiness validation, Entra ID and Ramp SSO configuration, claim mapping and pilot testing, then final validation and handover. The schedule assumes timely access to both admin consoles and availability of test users.

How much does the Ramp Microsoft Entra ID SSO implementation cost?

The service is $475 per project, quoted fixed-price in writing before work begins — you pay after you approve delivery. Ramp subscription fees, Microsoft licensing, and work beyond the standard SSO scope — such as SCIM user provisioning — are not included.

What business problem does this service solve?

It removes the separate Ramp password. Employees sign in with their existing Microsoft Entra ID credentials, and your identity controls — multi-factor authentication, Conditional Access, Identity Protection, and Entra ID sign-in reporting — can protect access to financial data where your Microsoft licensing supports them.

Can this service help enforce MFA for Ramp access?

Yes — once Ramp sign-in goes through Microsoft Entra ID, your existing MFA and Conditional Access policies can be applied to the Ramp enterprise application. Policy design depends on your Entra ID licensing and tenant configuration, and IT Partner validates that the agreed policies apply to Ramp sign-in during the engagement.

Can IT Partner assign Ramp SSO only to specific users or groups?

Yes. Assignment is configured on the Ramp enterprise application in Microsoft Entra ID, so SSO can be rolled out to specific pilot users or Entra ID groups first and then broadened to the agreed production population.

What are the prerequisites for the Ramp SSO implementation?

You need an active Microsoft Entra ID tenant with administrative access, an active Ramp subscription that supports SSO configuration with a Ramp administrator available, at least one test user present in both systems with matching identifiers such as email or user principal name, and client approval for the rollout approach and testing window.

Will this service create or provision Ramp user accounts automatically?

No. This service covers single sign-on only. Ramp also supports SCIM provisioning with Microsoft Entra ID for automated account creation and deactivation, which IT Partner implements as a separate service — see User Synchronization Between Microsoft Entra ID and Ramp.

What happens during the 5-day implementation?

Day 1 covers kickoff and scope confirmation; day 2 validates tenant readiness, access, and Ramp SSO capabilities; day 3 configures the Ramp enterprise application in Entra ID and exchanges SSO metadata; day 4 maps and validates claims and tests pilot sign-ins; day 5 completes final validation, controlled rollout, and handover documentation.

Will the Ramp SSO implementation cause downtime for users?

SSO changes affect how users sign in to Ramp, so the rollout is controlled: the configuration is validated with pilot users before broader enablement, and cutover timing is agreed with your Ramp administrator. No Microsoft 365 downtime is involved.

What is not included in the Ramp SSO implementation?

Exclusions include Microsoft, Ramp, or third-party licenses, new Entra tenant deployment or migration, broad Conditional Access or zero-trust redesign, cleanup of duplicate users or attribute issues, SCIM provisioning and lifecycle automation (available as the separate user-synchronization service), integration of applications beyond Ramp, custom development, end-user training, and ongoing managed support after handover unless separately purchased.
