Enable support for dynamic mail-enabled security groups
Dynamic security groups are great, mail-enabled groups are great too wouldn't it be great to have both. We have a requirement to create security groups (or distribution groups) based on employee attributes (i.e. Active Full-time, Active Parttime, etc...). These attributes live in Azure AD but aren't accessible in Exchange Online so I cannot create a dynamic distribution group. I am able to create a mail-enabled security group but the membership cannot be dynamic. And any dynamic group I create can't be mail-enabled unless it's a unified group but for the purposes we need the groups for Unified groups aren't appropriate.…

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.
358 votesCurrently, we are not aware of any plans from Windows Server for this capability. We’ll continue to work with Windows Server to revisit this in the near future

B2C Support for client credential flow.
To enable APIs to use authentication from another application with separate security credentials (clientId+secret). Needed for APIs to make graph calls.
(This is not the same as on-behalf-of flow, which represents the ability to exchange an access token intended for one audience for an access token intended for a different audience)
237 votesThis is not planned for the next 6 months, but is on the roadmap.

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.
226 votesWe do have some capabilities in this space by using either Access Reviews (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/governance/manage-guest-access-with-access-reviews) or the newly-released-to-preview Entitlement Management feature (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/governance/entitlement-management-overview).
If neither of those fulfill your requirements, please add a comment with your scenario for the feature to help us prioritize and design it better.

Add Japan region to data residency location of Azure AD B2C
Lots of Japanese customers would like to use Azure AD B2C. But they can not decide to adopt B2C because we do not have Japan region as data residency location.

Allow different login branding customizations per-domain
We have a number of subdomains in our tenant which are used for various purposes - clients, partners, staff etc.
It would be great to be able to customise the login branding customisation settings on a per-domain basis rather than globally across the tenant.226 votesWe would like to provide a short update on the last reply from 2018. We want to reconfirm that “Sign-in page branding customization per domain” is still in our backlog. However, there is no estimated time arrival defined yet. Thanks for your patience until then.

group naming policy using extension attributes
Please implement additional functionality to allow the use of Extension Attributes as part of a Group Naming Policy. This is required as the Department name is too large and many organisations have a shortened department code which they apply via an Extension Attribute. Using a long department name in a Group Naming POlicy creates names that are too long to be useful, but using a shortened department code plus group name means that the group can be easily identified and attributed to a department without cluttering the name space.
e.g. Information and Communication Technology has a short code of ICT…

All Powershell/BASH/script Azure AD join
For converting BOYD to Azure AD in the field w/o user intervention, we need a way for elevated accounts to be able to perform an Azure AD join of devices via script.... come on, this is the basics...
Think of it as MDM self-enrollment... if not that, then give us a one-click way for users to self-enroll the device.
190 votesThanks for the feedback on this. There are several ways to do Azure AD join (OOBE, bulk enrollment and Autopilot) which provide a richer experience to join devices to Azure AD. We’re continuously working to enhance those, so currently this is unplanned for the near future. Please continue to vote to help us prioritize

AADB2C: include username in JWT claims
AADB2C supports either email addresses or usernames for accounts. If a directory uses usernames, you don't get that username as a claim in the JWT. This means an extra trip to Azure must be made to retrieve the username. Please consider including the username in the JWT.
182 votesThis is currently not on our roadmap. You can retrieve this value by making a call through the Graph API. If this is needed for your scenarios, please continue voting and we will review at a later date.

remove b2b user when host account is removed
We use Azure B2B extensively. However where B2B users have been into our directory and the user has left the third party organisation and thus had their account removed does not clean up the guest account records in our directory.
Over time this leaves thousands of 'orphaned' guest accounts in our directory, with no ability for our administrators to identify which accounts are orphaned. and thus numbers of guest users in our our directory expands over time infinity
Azure AD should automatically in the in the event of a user object being removed from the third party directory remove the…
108 votesThis is in our backlog, but votes and comments about how you would expect this to work are very helpful to our planning/designing the feature so please keep them coming.
Also, for some scenarios in this space Access Reviews (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/governance/manage-guest-access-with-access-reviews) can be a good way of removing users who no longer need access, including those who don’t have accounts anymore. (Thanks Shawn for pointing that out for everyone!)

Add hashed password migration to Azure AD B2C
Currently, I can migrate user accounts from an existing database to Azure AD B2C. However, it only accepts unhashed passwords, which is completely useless for any modern system, which should ONLY be using hashed and salted passwords. What would actually make this feature useful is to include fields for hashed password, hash algorithm (any of several standard ones), salt and salt method (i.e., appended, prepended, etc).

Support logout and single logout with SAML 2.0 claims provider
Support for logout and single logout with SAML 2.0 IdP configured as claims provider on B2C.
The logout and single logout os both requested in some customer cases and in relation to the Danish governments IdP called "NemLog-in". In relation to the Danish governments IdP it is a requirement to support logout and single logout to connect to the central federation.

Who created guest user
Hi,
Currently i have no possibility to see who created a guest-user, except going through the audit-logs.
Maybe the User inviting the guest could be automatically set to the "Manager" attribute(which is currently not available for guest users).Then the monthly review of created guest-accounts would be much easier to handle, as you could ask the inviter/manager if still needed.
77 votesThis is good feedback and is in our backlog but not currently under development. While we work on prioritizing/designing the feature, it’s helpful to hear from you how you would use this information in your scenarios. Please let us know by adding comments here.
Thanks,

Bring through external user profile fields when using B2B
Currently, when you invite someone from another AzureAD, using the B2B process, only their DisplayName and EmailAddress comes through (both of which are actually provided in the B2B CSV file).
It would be very useful if more profile information could be retrieved, possibly with the user's authorisation.
In particular, details like Firstname, Lastname and Country, would be a useful start, but potentially more profile fields (address, phone numbers, title, etc) would be ideal.
57 votesMarking this as part of our backlog. The votes and comments about how you would use this are really helpful, please keep voting/commenting if this is an interesting scenario for you.

Spring Security Support
Storm Path is an example of an API/Service that provides all the same functionality as Azure AD B2C, and actually integrates with Spring Security very easily.
<a rel="nofollow noreferrer" href="https://stormpath.com/">https://stormpath.com/</a>They provide code samples too:
https://docs.stormpath.com/java/
It would be fantastic, and ensure a much wider adoption market, if you were to create an open source project that provided the same easy integration and adoption.

Avoid verification code emails when the user is not registered
Azure B2C is gives a false impression that the user is in the directory when they try to reset their password.
Following is steps in reset password:
1) User clicks the Reset Password link
2) B2C presents a page with “Email Address” field and says “Verification is necessary. Please click Send button.”
3) User enters his email address and clicks “Send Verification Code”
4) B2C sends the verification code this that email address (Even if no user is associated with that email address. This is where the user thinks he is registered with the system)
5) Now the user enters…51 votesNot currently planned for the next 6 months, but it is in our roadmap.
