Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Groups, now part of Microsoft Entra ID, allow administrators to organize users, devices, and other Azure AD objects into collections. By using Azure AD Groups, administrators can efficiently manage settings and control access to various resources for different sets of users.
Through this integration, Apono helps you securely manage access for sets of users in your Azure AD instance.
