docs: custom root roles (#4451)
https://linear.app/unleash/issue/2-1136/custom-root-roles-documentation

- [Adds documentation referencing custom root
roles](https://unleash-docs-git-docs-custom-root-roles-unleash-team.vercel.app/reference/rbac);
- [Adds a "How to create and assign custom root roles" how-to
guide](https://unleash-docs-git-docs-custom-root-roles-unleash-team.vercel.app/how-to/how-to-create-and-assign-custom-root-roles);
 - Standardizes "global" roles to "root" roles;
- Standardizes "standard" roles to "predefined" roles to better reflect
their behavior and what is shown in our UI;
 - Updates predefined role descriptions and makes them consistent;
 - Updates the side panel description of the user form;
- Includes some boy scouting with some tiny fixes of things identified
along the way (e.g. the role form was persisting old data when closed
and re-opened);
 
 Questions:

- Is it worth expanding the "Assigning custom root roles" section in the
"How to create and assign custom root roles" guide to include the steps
for assigning a root role for each entity (user, service account,
group)?
- Should this PR include an update to the existing "How to create and
assign custom project roles" guide? We've since updated the UI;

How to add SSO with SAML 2.0 Azure

import Figure from '@site/src/components/Figure/Figure.tsx'

:::info Availability

The Single-Sign-On capability is only available for customers on the Enterprise subscription. Check out the Unleash plans for details.

:::

Introduction

This guides shows you how to use Unleash's Single-Sign-On (SSO) integration with SAML 2.0 and how to connect it to Azure Active Directory as an ID provider (IdP).

Basic configuration

Prerequisites

This guide expects you to already have:

  • Administrator access to the Unleash instance you want to configure
  • Azure AD access for your Azure instance

Step 1: Create an Enterprise Application within Azure AD

a) Sign in to your Azure AD and create a new Enterprise Application.

b) In the Azure AD gallery, select the option to create your own application.

The Azure AD gallery. The "create your own application" button is highlighted.

c) Next, provide the application with a name. When asked what you're looking to do with the application, select the "Integrate any other application you don't find in the gallery (Non-gallery)" option.

Azure application creation form. The name is set to "UnleashSSO" and the "non-gallery" option is selected.

Step 2: Configure SSO via SAML in Azure AD

a) On the single sign-on page ("single sign-on" in the side bar), select the "SAML" option

Azure: SSO method selection page

b) Section 1: Basic SAML Configuration {#basic-saml-configuration}

When configuring SSO with SAML, you'll need to add an identifier and a reply URL. The identifier is your Unleash URL. (For hosted instances, that's usually https://<region>.app.unleash-hosted.com/<instanceName>).

The reply URL is the Unleash callback URL. The Unleash callback URL is available on the Unleash SSO configuration page, and is typically your Unleash URL followed by /auth/saml/callback.

Azure: The basic SAML configuration form with example values filled out for the required fields.

c) Section 2: Attributes & Claims {#attributes-and-claims}

  1. Set the "name identifier format" to "Email address".
  2. Select "attribute" as the source.
  3. Enter "user.mail" in the source attribute field.

Optionally, you can also provide a first name and a last name. If provided, these will be used to enrich the data in Unleash.

Azure: The manage claim form with email configuration filled out Azure: The list of claims used by the SAML setup, including the optional claims for given name and surname

:::info URLs and formats

Make sure to replace URLs with the public URL for your Unleash instance. This will require correct region prefix and the instance name.

The correct format is: https://[region].app.unleash-hosted.com/[instanceName]/auth/saml/callback

:::

d) Sections 3 and 4: Azure AD setup details {#azure-details}

You will need some details from section 3 and 4 of the SAML setup form to configure the integration within Unleash. These details are:

  • Azure AD Identifier (from section 4)
  • Login URL (from section 4)
  • X.509 Certificate (in the Federation Metadata XML from section 3)

Step 3: Configure SAML 2.0 provider in Unleash

In order to configure SSO with SAML with your Unleash enterprise you should navigate to the Single-Sign-On configuration section and choose the "SAML 2.0" tab.

Unleash: sso-config screen

Use the values from the previous section to fill out the form:

  1. In the entity ID field, add the Azure AD identifier. It should look a little like this https://sts.windows.net/**[identifier]**.
  2. In the single sign-on URL field, add the login URL. It should look something like https://login.microsoftonline.com/**[identifier]**/saml2
  3. In the X.509 certificate field, add the content of the X509Certificate tag from the federation metadata XML.

Optionally, you may also choose to “Auto-create users”. This will make Unleash automatically create new users on the fly the first time they sign-in to Unleash with the given SSO provider (JIT). If you decide to automatically create users in Unleash you must also provide a list of valid email domains separated by commas. You must also decide which root Unleash role they will be assigned. Without this enabled you will need to manually add users to Unleash before SSO will work for their accounts and Unleash.

Unleash: SAML 2.0 filled out with entity ID, Single Sign-On URL, and X.509 certificate and auto-creating users for users with the '@getunleash.ai' and '@getunleash.io' emaiil domains.

Validate

If everything is set up correctly, you should now be able to sign in with the SAML 2.0 option. You can verify that this works by logging out of Unleash: the login screen should give you the option to sign in with SAML 2.0.

You can also test the integration in Azure by using the "test single sign on" step in the SAML setup wizard.

Group Syncing

Optionally, you can sync groups from Azure AD to Unleash to map them to groups in Unleash.

a) Add a group claim in Azure In section 2 (Attributes and claims) of the Azure SAML set-up, select the option to "Add a group claim".

Check the box to "Customize the name of the group claim" and update the "Name" to something simple, such as "groups".

Azure AD only supports sending a maximum of 150 groups in the SAML response. If you're using Azure AD and have users that are present in more than 150 groups, you'll need to add a filter in this section to the group claim to ensure that only the groups you want to sync are sent to Unleash.

Azure: section 2, attributes and claims, adding a group claim with the name 'group'

b) Unleash SSO Setup In the Unleash Admin SSO section, enable the option to "Enable Group Syncing".

Add the same "Name" you used from the previous section (eg. "groups") as the "Group Field JSON Path".

Unleash: SAML 2.0 SSO setup, enabled group syncing with the Group Field JSON Path as 'groups'

Note that Azure only supports sending up to 150 groups. If you have more groups than this, you can setup a filter in Azure to only send the relevant groups to Unleash.
