Azure AD Integration in Cardiff
Integrating applications with Microsoft Entra ID for Cardiff organisations, where your sign-in is governed by policies you do not own. Conditional access rules applied across the tenant decide whether a request succeeds, so an integration that works in testing can start failing because someone tightened a policy for entirely unrelated reasons.
Why this comes up
The problem
A background service stopped authenticating overnight after a conditional access policy was applied tenant-wide.
What you get
What we deliver
- Conditional access impact assessed with whoever administers the tenant
- Service identities configured appropriately rather than using a person's account
- Permissions scoped narrowly, distinguishing delegated from application access
- Admin consent obtained where required, since users cannot grant it themselves
- Token lifetimes and refresh handled so long-running processes do not stall
- Sign-in failures surfaced with enough detail to identify the policy involved

Working in Cardiff
Wales
Cardiff has a significant broadcast and media sector alongside a large public-sector presence, and Welsh-language provision is a genuine requirement on public-facing work here rather than a nice-to-have.
Public sector and broadcast work is common, and bilingual provision is usually a requirement rather than an option.

Azure AD Integration in Cardiff — common questions
- Why do policies break integrations?
- Because they apply to the sign-in, not to the application. A rule requiring a compliant device or multi-factor authentication is sensible for staff and impossible for a background service, so a tenant-wide policy can disable an integration nobody was thinking about.
- What is the difference between delegated and application permissions?
- Delegated permissions act on behalf of a signed-in user and are limited by what that person can do; application permissions act as the service itself and are not. The second is far more powerful, which is why it requires administrator consent.
- Why does admin consent matter?
- Because it is a dependency on somebody else's schedule. Certain permissions cannot be granted by an ordinary user, so an application requesting them simply will not work until an administrator approves — which is worth arranging before launch rather than during it.
- Should a service use a person's account?
- No. It ties the integration to an individual's password, multi-factor prompts and continued employment, and it makes the audit trail wrong by attributing automated actions to a human. A dedicated identity is both more durable and more honest about what is happening.
- Do you work with businesses across Cardiff?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Wales, including Cardiff and the surrounding Cardiff area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Cardiff businesses do you usually work with?
- Public sector and broadcast work is common, and bilingual provision is usually a requirement rather than an option. Beyond that we work across Media & Broadcasting, Financial Services, Public Sector, Higher Education and Sport.
- Do you cover the areas around Cardiff?
- Yes — we work throughout Wales, including Bristol, Swansea. Cardiff is an urban area of roughly 490,000+, and we take on work across the wider Cardiff region rather than the city boundary alone.
