Azure Active Directory
Welcome to the Azure Active Directory suggestions and feedback site! We love hearing from you. If you have suggestions, please submit an idea or vote up an idea. We are monitoring the site actively.
Thank you for joining our community and helping improve Azure AD!
We
have a new log in experience integrated with Azure AD, and we strongly
recommend you log in with your Azure AD (Office 365) account. If your
UserVoice account is the same email address as your Azure AD account, your
previous activities will be automatically mapped to your Azure AD account. You can read more here for details: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Azure-Active-Directory-Identity/Putting-customers-first-for-f...

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.
961 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? -
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.319 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.

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.

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…

You can remove directories by contacting the organization that owns the directory and asking them to remove you.
We can add the ability to hide them, if this is a popular request.

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 ?
187 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

Azure Domain Services Support for LAPS
Allow (or automatically install) LAPS within Azure Domain Services since this is the Microsoft supported standard for local administrator accounts.
LAPS: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/security/3062591.aspx

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.
136 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

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.
126 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.

Ability to trigger a dynamic group update
It would be wonderful if there was a way to trigger a re-sync of dynamic groups after changes are made. Right now some changes take over 24 hours to show and when experimenting with new dynamic rules it makes it difficult to see results. The trigger could be something like the Reset and Resync box in Enterprise Apps provisioning or just a Powershell applet that can be run.
107 votesOur feature team is looking into options for addressing this scenario, but we do not yet have any timelines to share. For now as a workaround, you can manually trigger the reprocessing by updating the membership rule to add a whitespace at the end. We’ve also added the ability to check the membership processing status, to keep track of the status and know if processing is complete.

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.
104 votesHi folks! I apologies for the delay in response and I deeply appreciate your feedback. I understand how important this feature is for your and your users. We do not yet have plans to implement this feature, but please keep voting if this is important to you to help us prioritize appropriately.

Enable User Writeback to On Premise AD from Azure AD
We need to be able to sync down from Azure AD - specifically we have External Users that we need to have down on our on premise AD so that we can put them into Distribution Lists...
102 votesHi – this is not a feature we are planning in AADConnect. We’re currently designing a new feature based on a new technology that would allow us to write back users and group from AAD to various different targets – AD, other directories, applications – and hope to be able to tell you more about it in the coming months.

Ability to Grant Permissions via API or Powershell
Azure AD allows you to create app registrations, define roles on them and give permissions to each other (as application identities). This way you can have a Web application talking to your API with its service principal and you can protect your API with roles.
Service Principal creation, role definition and permission assignment can be done through Portal, Powershell and API. But in order to make Application Permissions (which requires admin consent) work, you need someone with Global Administrator role to go to Azure Portal and click Grant Permissions button (or do the same thing via OAuth prompt on your…

AD Groups in Application Owners
Would be great to be able to add groups to application owners in AD instead of only users. Scenario is to use on-prem AD synced with Azure to keep management of application roles/groups/etc on-prem for cloud hosted solutions.

Deploy and manage Active Directory B2C using ARM templates and RM PowerShell cmdlets.
When building Azure-based applications intended for generalization and multiple deployment, it would simplify both the development and deployment experience if B2C directories could be configured using the standard Azure RM template and PowerShell cmdlet functionality.
93 votesGiven that a Azure AD B2C tenant should only be used for configuring Azure AD B2C, would having programmatic API’s to configure all of the Azure AD B2C settings be useful or is there more that you are looking to achieve using ARM templates?

SSPR - Allow user unlock from the windows 10 logon screen.
You recently implemented the password reset from the Windows 10 logon screen. However, the possibility of unlocking the user when they remembered the password was lacking.
I remember that this functionality already exists through the MIM or Azure reset link.
