Get user membership groups in the claims with AD B2C
As it's possible in the standard AD by changing the API application manifest option "groupMembershipClaims" to "SecurityGroup", is it possible to return user membership group in the claims with AD B2C?
Now, we can have only the default and custom attributes by adding a signin policy, but it's impossible to get user membership groups.
741 votesWe definitely recognize the popularity of this feature, and we discuss it constantly during the planning phases. However there are certain technical limitations in the system that add a large amount of development cost. Because of the cost and the fact that there is a workaround available, other features get prioritized over this one.
That being said, please keep voting for it. The popularity of the feature does help bring it up and makes us reconsider every time.
Apologies for the delay.

Old message:
We’re doing some research both on the specifics of this ask as well as what it would take to support this.
Is the ask here to do the same thing that regular Azure AD does (see: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/enterprisemobility/2014/12/18/azure-active-directory-now-with-group-claims-and-application-roles/) or is are there different requirements around this for Azure AD B2C? -
Fully customizable verification emails
Currently, Azure AD B2C sends verification codes via emails to end users during sign-up and password reset flows. These emails have limited customization. Add support for full customization of the email body & content.
632 votesHi all, a quick update here. We are looking at different options in allowing this customization. We understand that this is very important when you want to keep the look of the emails consistent with your brand to avoid confusing your users. We should have another update in the coming months as we figure out how to accomplish this.

Remove requirement for onprem Exchange when using DirSync
as per : http://tinyurl.com/kqgjvqx
Currently for a small business who want password sync, but make the move to 365. they have to keep Exchange running on premise simply to be able to edit user attributes related to Exchange. - an active directory DLL, standalone app or simply support in the 365 portal would solve this for so many customers.
237 votesWe’re reviewing the best architectural solution here and will updated when we know more.

Update UserType from portal
Be able to see and change the userType from the portal.
(This is only available in Powershell : example: change from Guest -> member, in order to see the directory as an external user.)Set-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName xxxhotmail.com#EXT#@xxxhotmail.onmicrosoft.com -UserType Member
185 votesThank you for the feedback on this issue. We’re still considering it but don’t have a specific ETA so updating the status. It’s helpful to understand your scenarios around this and other features so please feel to keep commenting with how you would use this.

Azure AD B2C, How to Avoid / Validate, duplicate Sign up with Social Identity Providers
Hi, Assume, I sign up with Google 'siva@gmail.com', it creates a user in the tenant. I sign up with Facebook 'siva@gmail.com', it creates another user in the tenant. Also I went and Sign up using email account, for 'siva@gmail.com', now am finding 3 users with same email id. I see this is a duplicate accounts are getting created. Is there any way this can be validated & inform user in Azure AD B2C ?
159 votesThank you. We will examine the experience of duplicate sign ups across Identity providers. Would performing this check by using the email address be sufficient?
BTW, Linking multiple provider accounts to one user is in our roadmap and we’ve already achieved it in preview…
We look forward to your feedback

Dynamic Groups: Member of group
Would be good to have the possibility to use membership in other groups as a condition in a dynamic group membership rule.
Example:
(user.objectId -memberOf group.objectId)
(user.objectId -notMemberOf group.ObjectId)Use case 1 - Group Based Licensing.
If the user is member of a group that gives them a E5 license, don't let them be member of a group that gives them E3.Use case 2 - Exceptions
All users should have a MDM policy applied, accept those of a specific group.126 votesThank you for your feedback! The feature team is aware of this suggestion and will keep it under consideration. There are technical challenges to overcome in order to make this happen. Please keep the votes coming if this feature matters to you.

Reduce pricing for Azure AD B2C
Azure AD B2C seems to be an interesting and very important service, however in my opinion it is >dramatically< overpriced. Having to pay thousands of dollars >per month< just for a few million users is in no relation to other Azure Services.
E.g. Storing 10 million users would cost 950k * €0.00093 + 9mil * €0.00076 = 7723,5€ per month. And this doesn't even include authentications.
This makes me wondering if your case study Real Madrid really would like all of their 450 million fans use this service. I think they would have to sell a player in that case!…119 votesRestating what Alex Simons said in the comments below:
The vast majority of our B2C customers see monthly active user rates in the 10 – 15% at the very high end. In addition, most set their token lifetimes to be relatively long (you don’t want users on a mobile device to have to authenticate more than is absolutely necessary) so even though a user might be actively using your app each month, they might only be requesting a token every other month – or maybe even less.
So if you compare this to either AWS or running your own authentication server (make sure you included the full cost to maintain/run/upgrade/etc.) I think you will find it’s very price competitive.
That said, we are looking at some additional pricing options that would give apps that have a very high usage rate (50% or more of users active each month) some options…

PowerShell and Graph API support for managing Multi-Factor Authentication
Currently, the only available option to automate Azure MFA administration appears to be the MSOnline PowerShell module, released back in 2015.
The MSOnline module's Set-MsolUser and Get-MsolUser cmdlets allow administrators to enable and disable MFA on a user object using PowerShell scripts.
Alas, the MSOnline module itself does not support MFA when connecting to Azure AD. Administrators hoping to make use of the MSOnline module cannot have MFA enabled on their accounts. In short, for an admin to manage MFA with PowerShell, the admin's account can't be protected by MFA.
The new AzureAD and AzureADPreview PowerShell modules support connecting to…
106 votesThe MFA team is currently working on adding get/set/read/delete abilities for StrongAuthentication data to the Graph API.

Provide support for YubiKey / FIDO as the MFA
Many other services (Google Apps, Facebook etc) now allow this and would be great to have in Azure AD.
98 votesAzure MFA is currently designing the experience for FIDO 2.0. This is the next iteration of the FIDO U2F standard that the link references.

Make https://passwordreset.microsoftonline.com responsive design or app for password reset
It would be nice, if the passwordreset.microsoftonline.com looked great on a mobile device as well as on a PC. It isn't responsive and looks weird on a phone. You have to pinch to see the text and textboxes on the page.
Alternative Microsoft should consider integrating "Password Reset" / "Lockout" functionality in a new app or the existing Azure Authenticator app. This will notify the user about account lockout and also provide a way for the user to do a quick password reset a device. Of cause the user will need to answer a couple of questions, enter a pin…
83 votesThanks for the feedback. Responsive UI for the password reset page is something we’re reviewing.

Add PowerShell commands to manage "Users flagged for risk" in Azure AD
I have quite a few users who have been tagged as "Users flagged for risk" in Azure AD. I'd like to be able to "Dismiss all events" for those users that were "Last updated" more than XX days ago. It seems I can only do this via the web GUI one user at a time. This stinks. This particular report had gone unwatched for a bit. PowerShell to the rescue please!
76 votesHi – Thanks for the suggestion. We understand this is a problem today and we are planning to bring an option to multi-select users and the “Dismiss risk” on them in the new UX. If your requirement is to dismiss risk on hundreds of users, please reach out to the CSS team and they will guide you to the right contacts.

Disable user's ability to change password (via cloud/portals)
We need to disable a user's ability to change their password. We need to manage password changes in our own application.
NOTE: I am not referring to password resets (which we can easily disable). Rather I'm talking about preventing users from changing their password via a Microsoft portal when they know their existing password.
We are looking for an equivalent of the (non Azure) AD powershell command Set-ADUser -CannotChangePassword.
73 votesThanks for the feedback! We’re reviewing this request and will update as soon as we make a decision.

Expand navigation property of children with a single query
Impossible to get members of Azure AD group with expanded 'manager' property in one request.
for example:
https://graph.windows.net/<tenant_id>/directoryObjects/<group_id>/members/?api-version=1.6&$expand=managerwe gets the following response:
{"code":"Request_UnsupportedQuery","message":{"lang":"en","value":"An unsupported query was observed. Please ensure you query does not navigate across multiple reference-properties."}I suppose reason of such response is clear. and current workaround is the following:
1) Get group members
2) for each five members(using OData batch) get manager
But this way make us do a lot of requests to Azure AD and we expect performance degradation here.We develop multi tenant application which access Azure AD of all our customers and it's…
65 votesWe are still looking into it! It is due to current platform limitation, and there is some work going on to address this. Again, thank you for the suggestions! Keep the votes coming.

Device-level authentication as primary authentication like ADFS 4.0 (Windows 2016) in Azure AD
It would be AWESOME, if Azure Active Directory would provide device-level authentication as primary authentication like ADFS 4.0 (Windows 2016)
We need this please!
65 votesThanks for your suggestion. This is under review and in our backlog but initially you will see this capability show up in AD FS in Windows Server 2016.

Support Azure AD domain join for Windows Server 2016
Microsoft should strongly consider implementing support for Azure AD join in future builds of Windows Server 2016. I how a couple of customers that have nearly finished the transition to all cloud and is left with a couple of servers due to legacy software. They are currently left with the option to deploy Azure AD Domain Services for supporting a couple (2-5) servers.
63 votesThanks for the feedback. We’re reviewing feasibility for this feature. No timelines yet, but this is on our roadmap.
Please share any additional feedback on this suggestion for us to review

SSO / Sign in to Azure via Google Apps IDP
We'd like to enable our users for lots of Azure services (incrementally), starting with some RemoteApp services. We do *not* want to move user authentication to Azure AD (users have lots of complex Google Apps logins, with 2-Factor and U2F Keys).
Is there an easy way for us to enable Google Apps as an IdP in Azure AD?
Like, can we copy user profiles from Google Apps -> Azure, and on login attempt, redirect to the Google Apps sign in screen?
63 votesWe are reviewing this capability for all up Azure AD but initially you will see the ability to support Google ID for users in our B2C release.
