• Dynamic Active Directory Groups

    One of my favorite features in Azure AD is dynamic groups. We can simply manage members of a group by defining filter rules based on user attributes. We can then go ahead and assign Azure AD resources to those groups, whether that’s apps, licenses or memberships / ownerships for other groups. This comes in very handy if we synchronize employee data from an HR system. The only thing we need to worry about is the sync. Group membership and access to resources is completely automated. Nice! :blush: However, many organizations still use Active Directory to manage their users and resources. Wouldn’t it be great to have the same functionality there? Say no more! :sunglasses:
