Use Altus for Project with multiple Entra ID tenants

Use this guidance when you need to link a Microsoft Project file to Altus and you have access to multiple Microsoft Entra ID tenants.

The setting that controls this is Prompt for Microsoft account when linking a project in Linked Project Settings.

When to turn this setting on

Turn this setting on when:

• You have access to multiple Entra ID tenants
• Your normal sign-in account is not in the same tenant as the target Altus (Dataverse) environment
• You need to choose a different Microsoft account during the link process

When enabled, Altus for Project prompts you to select the Microsoft account to use when linking a project.

When to leave this setting off

Leave this setting off when:

• You only use one Entra ID tenant
• Your normal Microsoft account already matches the target Altus environment tenant

For most users, this setting should remain off.

Link using a different tenant account

1. In Microsoft Project, open the Altus ribbon.
2. Click Linked Project Settings.
3. Tick Prompt for Microsoft account when linking a project.
4. Click Link Altus Project.
5. When prompted, select the Microsoft account that belongs to the target Altus (Dataverse) tenant.
6. Select the Altus environment.
7. Click Next.
8. Select the Altus project.
9. Click Connect.

Recommendation

Only enable this setting when required for multi-tenant linking.

If your day-to-day usage is single-tenant, leave it off to avoid extra sign-in prompts.
