Not every company wants IT to create cards in bulk. Enterprise plans therefore offer a second model, in which employees take care of their own card.
Employees open your company's QR Code login page and sign in with their usual corporate credentials through single sign-on (SSO) and the emplyee's data is pulled from MicrosoftEntra ID. After login, they see exactly one thing: their own business card, which they can edit and manage the content themselves.
Administrators set the boundaries. Depending on your policy, you can restrict what employees are allowed to change, for example by limiting everyone to one design template for both the QR Code and the landing page. People keep their details current, while the corporate design stays untouched.
Behind the scenes, every employee gets their own user instance within your QR Planet account. This is the main difference from the Entra ID synchronization, where all cards are created in a single user instance. Outdated cards can be deleted manually, automatically via the
API, or through
MCP integration.
How to setup the SSO-Import feature
1. Log into your QR Code account (admin view)
2. Create a user in your QR Code account
When the user overview, please click Create User and then log into the new user.
Create a user for your business card template(s) Create a digitial business card
Once logged into the user instance, please create your first business card. This card will be used as template for the imported cards, so it should have the full look and feel you are aiming for.
We highly suggest using a CSS-template in your template business card, so future changes can be done centraly by editing the CSS-template.
Connect your QR Code account to your Entra-ID
Get in touch with your IT to set up the connection. The article above contains technical details for IAM Admins or your IT department, managing Microsoft Azure Entra ID (Active Directory). Please get in touch with an IT expert on your end to help you in setting up the SSO connection.

How to set up your personal business card via SSO
1. Visit the business card page and log in via SSO
Visit your company's business card site, as provided by your administrator, e.g. id.yourcompany.com. Once there, use the SSO Login button to proceed.
2. Choose your personal company Microsoft account
Next, a pop-up will appear in the browser. Please pick your Microsoft account or enter new credentials.
Your data will now be fetched from MS Entra ID and transmitted into your personal digital business card user, while you will be forwarded to the business card editor.
3. Edit and/or save the content of your future business card
Finally, check your data, change what needs changing, add what needs adding - and save your business card.
You can always change your card at any time by revisiting your company's business card page and logging in with the same Microsoft account via SSO.
