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!
Wehave a new log in experience integrated with Azure AD, and we stronglyrecommend you log in with your Azure AD (Office 365) account. If yourUserVoice account is the same email address as your Azure AD account, yourprevious activities will be automatically mapped to your Azure AD account.

Support NPS/RADIUS for Azure AD Domain Services
Add support for Microsoft NPS/RADIUS in Azure AD Domain Services
356 votesUPDATE 01/06/2020
Multiple scenarios are still being investigated.

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

AADB2C: Support OAuth 2.0 client credential flow
As mentioned in the B2C limitations:
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/active-directory-b2c-limitations/
Our daemons / server-side applications need this feature as part of our security implementation in order to grant access to our web apis.
311 votesCurrently, you can use “App Registration” blade in the Azure Portal (outside of the Azure AD B2C blades) to register an apps that define application permission and the register apps that use client credentials to request these. The caveat is that this is done using the same mechanism that you’d use in regular Azure AD.
Ideally we’d have a first class experience for this in the Azure AD B2C blades or at least have an Azure doc that walks you through the experience I just summarized, so I’m leaving this feature ask open.
It would be great if you guys can add comments with your feedback. What scenarios areyou trying to achieve? Does the approach above help you achieve what you want to achieve? Does the experience to do so work for you guys and if not, what would you like to see?

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.311 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.

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.
300 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

AADB2C: Force password reset
Add the ability to force user's to reset password at next login. It would be ideal if this was available for both individual users as well as in bulk. This is necessary for situations such as credential leaks, etc.
291 votesWe have started the planning for this feature and hope to have a preview by the end of the calendar year. In the meantime, could you respond to aadb2cpreview@microsoft.com with the answers to the following questions:
- In which scenarios do you plan to force the user to change his/her password?
- What kind of information (if any) would you like to get back if the user goes through the reset flow?
- Do you currently or plan to track which users have reset their password? -
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.…
278 votesThank you for your feedback! We have heard you and are considering future implementation options. There is no timeline yet for implementation. If this feature matters to you, keep voting as it will help us prioritize.

Add support for the Microsoft Authenticator app in B2C
Enable the Microsoft Authenticator app to be used for 2FA in Azure B2C.
265 votesWe are looking to add additional MFA options for Azure AD B2C in the next few months. As part of the investigation, we want to learn more about your requirements. Email your feedback to aadb2cpreview@microsoft.com.
When you say “support for Microsoft Authenticator”, which feature are you referring to?
1. The ability to see the codes in the authenticator app
2. The ability to receive push notifications for MFAIf both, which do you prefer more?
Again, please email your feedback to aadb2cpreview@microsoft.com. Feel free to include more details about your scenarios/requirements!

MFA: remember device permanently (& remember per device, not per app)
Please:
1. Remove the 60-day (max) limit on remembering Office 365/Azure MFA authorisation for a device/app.
2. Make it so that MFA is remembered once per device (well, per user account per device), not once per app (for all Microsoft apps that authorise across all kinds of devices).Rationale: Having to refresh the MFA authorisation periodically does not add to security, because we already know that the app or device is trusted and if that changes (e.g. device is lost or stolen), the correct procedure to follow is for the admin to immediately revoke the authorisation for the device and/or…

Azure AD B2C Data Residency in Australia
Although Azure AD B2C is available for use in Australia, there is not option to create a directiry for which the user data resides in Australia. We would like to be able to ensure that our Azure AD B2C user data remains in Australia.
247 votesWe plan to start work on this in the next 6 months. Please note we don’t have timing on when it would be available for customers.

Enable SSPR to reset Windows cached credentials
In reference to - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/authentication/tutorial-sspr-windows
Its great that SSPR can now be invoked from the login screen. This however seems like a relatively minor benefit to the average user since most have a mobile device with which they can follow the flow. I don't mean to demean the achievement since its definitely needed. However, what is a major issue (and which generates just as many support issues (and erodes IT credibility) as no SSPR at all) is the lack of SSPR for cached credentials when users are off the network/VPN. This happens to be the most common use case we…

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 ?
238 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

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.

Enable PIM role assignment by Group membership.
It would be nice to enable PIM roles to be linked not only to direct assignment to users but also to groups. This enables integration with on-premise IAM solutions that have not been extended to support the Graph API calls to PIM for role management.
