Viewing the change history of a dynamic distribution group

You can view the change history of a dynamic distribution group with the Change History action of the Active Roles Web Interface.

To view the change history of a dynamic distribution group

  1. In the Active Roles Web Interface, navigate to Directory Management > Tree > Azure > <azure-tenant-name> > Dynamic Distribution Groups.

    Figure 28: Directory Management > Tree > Azure > <azure-tenant-name> > Dynamic Distribution Groups — Listing the Azure dynamic distribution groups in the Azure tenant.

  2. Select the dynamic distribution group whose change history you want to view.

  3. Click Change History.

Deleting a dynamic distribution group

You can delete a dynamic distribution group with the Delete action of the Active Roles Web Interface.

To delete a dynamic distribution group

  1. In the Active Roles Web Interface, navigate to Directory Management > Tree > Azure > <azure-tenant-name> > Dynamic Distribution Groups.

    Figure 29: Directory Management > Tree > Azure > <azure-tenant-name> > Dynamic Distribution Groups — Listing the Azure dynamic distribution groups in the Azure tenant.

  4. To confirm, click Yes.

Managing Azure security groups

Active Roles supports CRUD (create, read, update and delete) operations for Azure security groups and also lets you specify owners and add/remove members to or from existing Azure security groups in your organization.

Azure security groups are security principals used to secure objects (for example, Azure users, Azure guest users, devices, applications, or other Azure security groups) in Azure AD. Typically, Azure security groups are set up to delegate application licenses or other resource permissions to users based on their group membership. For more information on Azure security groups, see Groups in Microsoft 365 and Azure in the Microsoft 365 community documentation.

You can administer Azure security groups via the Active Roles Web Interface.

Creating an Azure security group with the Web Interface

You can use the Active Roles Web Interface to create and enable new Azure security groups.

For more information on Azure security groups, see Groups in Microsoft 365 and Azure in the Microsoft 365 community documentation.

To create a new Azure security group

  1. Navigate to Directory Management > Tree > Azure > <azure-tenant-name> > Security Groups.

    The list of existing Azure security groups in the selected Azure tenant appears.

  2. In the right-side pane, click New Group.

    The New Group in Security Groups window appears.

  3. Specify the Group Azure Display Name of the configured group.

    TIP: You can configure multiple groups with the same Group Azure Display Name in the same Azure tenant.

  4. Provide a short Description for the group.

  5. Configure the Membership type of the group:

    • Assigned: When selected, you can add or remove members to or from the group manually later. For more information, see Adding or removing members from an Azure security group with the Web Interface.

    • Dynamic Members: When selected, Active Roles sets up the group as a dynamic membership group, and will automatically update group membership based on the configured Dynamic membership rule syntax.

    TIP: Consider the following when configuring the Membership type:

    • Select Dynamic Members to quickly configure a group based on a certain membership logic. For example, if you need to set up a group for employees from the same geographical location, business unit, or functional area, One Identity recommends configuring the group with Dynamic Members.

    • If you select Dynamic Members, you will not be able to manually add or remove members to or from the Azure security group, unless you change its Membership type to Assigned later. However, you can still manually configure the owner(s) for a dynamic Azure security group, as described in Adding or removing owners from an Azure security group with the Web Interface.

    • Although the Membership type drop-down setting does not offer a separate Dynamic Devices option, you can actually set up dynamic Azure security groups in Active Roles with the appropriate dynamic device membership rules (such as device.displayName). However, the Active Roles Web Interface cannot display member devices and applications.

    • You can always change the Membership type later by navigating to the Azure Properties > General page of the selected Azure security group on the Active Roles Web Interface:

    • Changing the Membership type from Dynamic Members to Assigned later will keep the last set of members that were dynamically assigned to the group.

  6. If you set the Membership type to Dynamic Members, specify the Dynamic membership rule syntax. Active Roles will send the logic configured in this field to Azure to automatically assign or remove members to or from the group later.

    NOTE: Consider the following when using the Dynamic membership rule syntax setting:

    • This setting is enabled only if Membership type is set to Dynamic Members. However, in that case, it is mandatory and cannot be empty.

    • The specified dynamic membership rule must meet all rule syntax requirements, otherwise the window will return an error. For more information on the available membership rule properties, operators and values, see Dynamic membership rules for groups in Azure AD in the Microsoft 365 documentation.

    • Whenever you modify the dynamic membership rule of a dynamic M365 group, it can take several minutes for Azure to update the list of group members in the Dynamic Members window of the selected Azure security group.

  7. To complete the configuration of the new Azure security group, click Finish.

    The new Azure security group will appear under the Directory Management > Tree > Azure > <azure-tenant-name> > Security Groups node.
