Entra Cloud Sync – Lightweight Agent – Cloud Managed – Part 5 – How to create groups in Entra ID

THIS ARTICLE IS PART OF THE SERIES: Entra Cloud Sync – Lightweight Agent – Cloud Managed – Christoffer Klarskov Jakobsen – Microsoft Architect

You create groups in Entra ID the normal way you are used to.

Or if you have a HR system provisioning the groups into Entra ID, this is supported too.

You will see that a group created in Entra ID and user created in local AD and synced to Entra ID, is a member of this group in local AD (but only if the membership of the user into the group was done in Entra ID and then synced by the system to local AD – DO NOT ADD THE USER TO CLOUD GROUPS FROM LOCAL AD).
