AzureAD Role Delegation to Groups
Currently in AzureAD msolroles can only be assigned to users and servicePrincipals using the add-msolRoleMember cmdlet. Groups cannot be a msol-roleMember - although the add-msolroleMember cmdlets' RoleMemberType Parameter can be set to Group. But we always get an exception which says that this value is invalid....
Usually we delegate access to resources using ActiveDirectory Groups instead of users, which makes the Management much easier. To achieve a Role Delegation to Groups we have to deploy a Powershell that synchronizes Group-Members with Role-Members of a specific role. This is a valid Workaround but a nasty one compared to a direct delegation to AzureAD Groups.

Just wanted to post another update that this is a high priority, but we do not have any details to announce yet.

Folks,
We are working on it. There is an elevation of privilege concern associated with this feature. If a group is assigned a role, any IT admin who can manage group membership can indirectly manage the membership of that role. So, we have to ensure that the feature is secure.Stay tuned!

Any update on this? This is a big shame, we have RBAC but not for the most important piece of service.

When is this basic capability going to be added into the system. Its absurd that it was skipped.

Azure Active Directory doesn't support group assignment to roles? How much more contradictory does it get? An enterprise directory doesn't support enterprise management.

Agree with the others. Not having this feature really goes against RBAC fundamentals and increases management overheads for our IT department.
Microsoft please resolve asap.
