Creating groups in Azure AD

To create and manage groups from the Azure AD tenant in the Azure portal, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to the Azure portal by going to https://portal.azure.com.
  2. From the left menu, select Azure Active Directory.
  3. In the Overview blade of Azure AD, in the left menu, select Groups All groups. Select + New group from the top menu, as follows:

Creating a new group
  1. Add the following values to create the new group:
    • Group type: Security.
    • Group name: PacktGroup.
    • Membership type: Here, you can choose between three different values. The first is Assigned and is where you assign the members manually to the group; then, there's Dynamic user, which is where the group membership is determined based on certain user properties. Dynamic group membership eliminates the management overhead of adding and removing users. The last option is Dynamic device, which is where the group membership is determined based on certain device properties. Select the first option: Assigned.
  2. Click the Members tab to add members to this group. Select the three user accounts that we created in the previous section, as follows:

Adding users to a group
  1. Click Select to add the members and then Create to create the group.

Now, we have created a new group inside Azure AD and added the user accounts to it that we created in the previous section. In the next section, we are going to learn how to add and manage guest accounts.
