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…611 votesFolks,
Assigning built-in roles, custom roles and admin unit scoped roles to cloud groups is in public preview. Thanks a ton for all the great feedback that you shared with us. Here’s the published documentation -https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/users-groups-roles/roles-groups-concept
Next steps —> Support for on-prem groups. Stay tuned!

RBAC for AAD
The Azure teams have done an awesome job implementing RBAC. I would love to have this same functionality (granular permissions + custom roles) for AAD itself.
Currently there's too many activities that only a global admin can do. RBAC would allow us to delegate appropriate activities without increasing our security attack surface.357 votesHi folks,
Just a quick update here. We’re still actively working on support for custom roles (RBAC) across Azure AD. Stay tuned for more announcements in the next couple of months.You can have a look at what we’ve shipped thus far (custom roles for application registration management) here – https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/users-groups-roles/roles-custom-overview.

We need to be able to manage Azure AD helpdesk administration & other administration roles via on-prem AD groups
One Item I would like corrected \ added as a feature.
We need to be able to manage Azure AD helpdesk administration & other administration roles via on-prem AD groups. Currently we need to add users individually to each of the various roles. Helpdesk is a good example of this as many people come & go from this role & we need to add and remove users individually to the Azure AD Helpdesk administration role. If we had a AD group (example: Servicedesk AD group) with all members of the helpdesk in there, we just have to manage this group…64 votesHi,

Allow Applications to be added to AD Security Groups
See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47762262/add-aad-application-as-a-member-of-a-security-group
Basically allow adding Service Principals (i.e. Applications) into AD Security Groups just like User Principals are allowed today.

We support service principals to be added to security groups. Here’s the documentation – https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/fundamentals/active-directory-groups-create-azure-portal#group-types -
Allow creation of custom directory roles in Azure AD
Being able to create custom directory roles in Azure AD can allow Administrators the ability to grant users custom tailored roles in Azure AD. One example would be allowing the security office in your organization access to the risky events and risky users tabs with the ability to close,reopen, or mark for false positive without having to give them permissions that they do not need. This essentially takes the idea of "least privileged roles" and expands it to allow for further customization.

aad custom roles
Would be nice if we could create custom aad roles, might be wrong but the concept of creator/owner and being able to assign permissions to the owner role would be nice.

Assign directory roles to groups
Allow the ability to assign Groups to directory roles for better RBAC implementations. As an example, I would like to assign the role "Application Administrator" to a group using the cmdlt add-MsolRoleMember -RoleObjectId "objectID" -RoleMemberType Group -RoleMemberObjectId "objectID" but even though the switch for group is available, it is not supported. So I have to add every single individual user to this role (and many others) in order to extend our on-prem RBAC model to Azure. This is not scalable.

A GUI interface for edit or create custom role on Azure
A GUI interface for edit or create custom role on Azure.
Currently any custom role create / edit needed to change by powershell, a GUI interface is more user friendly and easy to manage for customer admin.

RBAC roles export/backup
Currently there are actions that can wipe out RBAC roles such as cross tenant subscription transfers, but there is no way to export these roles so they can be easily applied to the subscription once the transaction is complete. Being able to backup this data/export this data could be useful for a number of applications allowing quick management of access across subscriptions
1 voteWe shipped ability to export role assignments in Azure AD portal on a per role basis. Next step is ability to export assignments for all roles in one go.

Separate create and modify permissions for resources
Make the write permission for resources more granular. There are many cases where we would like to allow admins to modify resources but not create them. To achieve this we have to assign them a role directly to the resource. This would allow a more general assignment with only modify permissions.
