Modifying an Azure security group with the Web Interface

You can use the Active Roles Web Interface to modify the Azure properties of an existing Azure security group in your Azure tenant. This is typically useful if you have to:

  • Modify the display name of the Azure security group, for example because of an organizational or security policy change.

  • Change the configured membership type (manually assigned or dynamic) of the Azure security group.

To modify the Azure properties of an 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. Select the group that you want to configure.

  3. In the right-side pane, click Azure Properties.

  4. In the left-side pane of the Azure Properties window, click Properties.

  5. (Optional) 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.

  6. (Optional) Provide a short Description for the group.

  7. (Optional) 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.

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

  8. (Optional) 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. For more information on how to specify a membership rule, see Dynamic membership rules for groups in Azure AD in the Microsoft 365 documentation.

  9. To apply your changes, click Save.

Adding or removing owners from an Azure security group with the Web Interface

You can use the Active Roles Web Interface to specify owners for an Azure security group. Using the applicable options, you can either add or remove owners to or from the selected Azure security group.

NOTE: Consider the following when configuring group ownership:

  • You cannot specify a group as an owner of another group.

  • Although Active Roles and Azure AD support specifying Azure guest users as group owners, One Identity recommends doing so only if assigning the ownership of a specific group to a guest user is in line with the security policies of your organization.

To add owners to an 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. Select the group that you want to configure.

  3. In the right-side pane, click Azure Properties.

  4. To list the owners of the selected group, click the Owners tab of the Azure Properties window.

  5. Click Add to add a new owner (or owners) to the selected group.

  6. In the Select Object page, use the search field to find the users or guest users in the Azure tenant that you want to specify as owners.

    The users and guest users meeting the search criteria will appear in the Display Name column.

  7. Select the check boxes of the users or guest users you want to specify as owners of the group. The selected users will be listed in the lower pane of the Select Object page.

  8. (Optional) To search for additional users or guest users, enter another search string. After that, select the users or guest users you want to add from the updated list.

  9. To apply your changes, click OK. The Owners page will be updated with the new settings.

To remove owners from an 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. Select the group that you want to configure.

  3. In the right-side pane, click Azure Properties.

  4. To list the owners of the selected group, click the Owners tab of the Azure Properties window.

  5. Select the owners whose ownership you want to revoke, and click Remove. The selected owners are removed from the list of owners.

  6. To apply your changes, click OK. The Owners page will be updated with the new settings.

Adding or removing members from an Azure security group with the Web Interface

You can use the Active Roles Web Interface to add members to an existing Azure security group with an Assigned membership setting.

NOTE: Consider the following when managing the members of an Azure security group in Active Roles:

  • In the Active Roles Web Interface, you can only specify Azure users, Azure guest users, other Azure security groups and external users as group members for Azure security groups with an Assigned membership setting. You cannot specify devices and applications. However, you can:

    • Configure Azure security groups in the Active Roles Web Interface to have dynamic device membership by using the appropriate dynamic membership rules (such as device.displayName). For more information on the applicable membership rule syntax, see Dynamic membership rules for groups in Azure AD in the Microsoft 365 documentation.

    • Configure device and application memberships later in Azure Portal for Azure security groups created in Active Roles.

  • You cannot add or remove members manually to or from an Azure security group with dynamic membership. To change the members of a dynamic group manually, first modify its membership type from Dynamic Members to Assigned membership. For more information, see Modifying an Azure security group with the Web Interface.

  • Although you can use the Active Roles Web Interface to manage Azure security groups that also contain devices and applications, the Active Roles Web Interface cannot display the member devices and applications of such groups.

To add members to an 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. Select the group that you want to configure.

  3. In the right-side pane, click Members.

    The Members page then appears with the list of members in the selected group.

  4. Click Add to add a new member (or members) to the group.

  5. In the Select Object page, use the search field to find the users, guest users or Azure security groups in the Azure tenant that you want to add.

    The users, guest users and Azure security groups that meet the search criteria will appear in the Display Name column.

  6. Select the check boxes of the users, guest users or Azure security groups that you want to add to the group. The selected objects will appear in the lower pane of the Select Object page.

  7. (Optional) To search for additional users, guest users or Azure security groups, enter another search string. After that, select the objects you want to add from the updated list.

  8. To apply your changes, click OK. The Members page will be updated with the new membership settings.

To remove members from an 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.

    The Members page then appears with the list of members in the selected group.

  4. To remove a member (or members) from the selected group, select the members from the Members Name list, and click Remove.

    The selected members are removed from the Members Name list.

  5. To apply your changes, click OK. The Members page will be updated with the new membership settings.

Viewing the members of a dynamic Azure security group with the Web Interface

You can check the member users, guest users and Azure security groups of an Azure security group with dynamic membership via the Active Roles Web Interface. This is useful if you want to get a quick update on the current membership status of the dynamic Azure security group.

NOTE: Consider the following when using dynamic Azure security groups in Active Roles:

  • You cannot add or remove members manually to or from an Azure security group with dynamic membership. To change the members of a dynamic group manually, first modify its membership type from Dynamic Members to Assigned membership. For more information, see Modifying an Azure security group with the Web Interface.

  • Although you can use the Active Roles Web Interface to manage Azure security groups that also contain devices and applications, the Active Roles Web Interface cannot display the member devices and applications of such groups.

To view the members of an Azure security group with dynamic membership

  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. Select the group whose members you want to check.

  3. In the right-side pane, click Dynamic Members.

    The Dynamic Members page then appears with the list of members in the selected group.

  4. To exit the Dynamic Members window, click Close.
