Microsoft Entra ID groups

Microsoft Entra ID recognizes several group types into which you can organize users and groups to regulate access to resources or email distribution, for example.

Microsoft Entra ID 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 Microsoft Entra ID 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 Microsoft Entra ID documentation from Microsoft.

The group types supported in One Identity Manager are listed below.

Table 38: Support groups types

Group type

Description

Security group

Resource permissions are distributed through security groups. User accounts and other groups are added to security groups, which makes administration easier.

Security groups are loaded into One Identity Manager by synchronization. You can edit security groups in One Identity Manager and also create new ones.

Microsoft 365 group

Microsoft 365 groups are loaded into One Identity Manager by synchronization. You can edit Microsoft 365 groups in One Identity Manager.

You can only create new Microsoft 365 groups in One Identity Manager if the Exchange Online Module is installed. For more information, see the One Identity Manager Administration Guide for Connecting to Exchange Online.

Distribution group

Distribution groups are used to send emails to group members. Distribution groups are loaded into One Identity Manager by synchronization. You can edit distribution groups in One Identity Manager but you cannot create them in One Identity Manager.

Mail-enabled security groups

Mail-enabled security groups are security groups that are used as distribution groups.

Mail-enabled security groups are loaded into One Identity Manager by synchronization. You can edit mail-enabled security groups in One Identity Manager but you can only create new mail-enabled security groups in One Identity Manager if the Exchange Online Module is installed. For more information, see the One Identity Manager Administration Guide for Connecting to Exchange Online.

Dynamic group

Members of a dynamic group are not strictly assigned, but determined through defined rules. Dynamic groups are loaded into One Identity Manager by synchronization. You can change dynamic groups in One Identity Manager. You cannot create new dynamic groups in One Identity Manager.
