    NOTE: Active Roles lists the available cloud-only Azure users, Azure guest users, and Azure contacts on the Active Roles Web Interface with the following restrictions:

    • Active Roles can initially list 999 items.

    • The items listed in the list have a sliding expiry of 8 hours, after which the objects that have not been accessed will be flushed.

    • Whenever you perform a search in the list, Active Roles will always fetch the list of objects from Azure to update the cache.
