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.
891 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? -
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.

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.248 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.

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.

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…

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
199 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 ?
173 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

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!…125 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…

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.
122 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.

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!
109 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.

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.

B2B Guest User Expiration
Looking for the functionality where you can schedule Azure B2B users to exist in your tenant for a predetermined period of time. This would operate similarly to the O365 Groups expiration functionality that exist today. Additionally, managers would be allowed to extend these periods of time and automated reminders would be sent to the manager of these users.

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...
87 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.

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.
84 votesThanks for the feedback! We’re reviewing this request and will update as soon as we make a decision.
