Deleting and restoring Azure Active Directory user accounts
NOTE: As long as an account definition for an employee is valid, the employee retains the user account that was created by it. If the account definition assignment is removed, the user account that was created from this account definition, is deleted.
You can delete a user account that was not created using an account definition through the result list or from the menu bar. After you have confirmed the security alert the user account is marked for deletion in the One Identity Manager. The user account is locked in One Identity Manager and permanently deleted from the One Identity Manager database and the target system depending on the deferred deletion setting.
For more information about deactivating and deleting employees and user accounts, see the One Identity Manager Target System Base Module Administration Guide.

Azure Active Directory groups
Azure Active Directory recognizes several group types into which you can organize users and groups to regulate access to resources or email distribution, for example.
Azure Active Directory groups are loaded into One Identity Manager by synchronization. You can edit individual main data of the group and you can create new security groups in One Identity Manager. However, you cannot create more group types in One Identity Manager.
To add users to groups, you assign the groups directly to users. This can be assignments of groups to departments, cost centers, locations, business roles, or the IT Shop.
NOTE: Assignments to Azure Active Directory groups that are synchronized with the local Active Directory are not allowed in One Identity Manager. These groups cannot be requested through the web portal. You can only manage these groups in your locally. For more information, see the Azure Active Directory documentation from Microsoft.
The group types supported in One Identity Manager are listed below.
