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.

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.271 votesWe have released a public preview of custom roles with support for a handful of permissions related to managing application registrations. We’re now working on support for enterprise application management permissions, and will continue to release more permissions iteratively over time.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/users-groups-roles/roles-custom-overview
We very much appreciate all of your feedback here. We’re not done yet, so please keep letting us know what you think and where we can improve.

Support NPS/RADIUS for Azure AD Domain Services
Add support for Microsoft NPS/RADIUS in Azure AD Domain Services
262 votesCONFIRMED that NPS and Azure AD Domain Service can work with the Azure MFA NPS extension to enable MFA for RDP to virtual machines. That said, Azure Bastion Host (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/bastion/bastion-overview) provides the same value without the additional infrastructure of NPS. We have a doc bug created to add the nuance to our documentation, which is to 1) Skip registering the NPS server and 2) ensure your network policy has “Ignore user account dial-in properties” selected.
Leaving the topic open as we continue to investigate/validate other NPS use cases (e.g. VPN and 802.x scenarios)Mike Stephens

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.
259 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?

Support Remote Desktop Web Client HTML5 on Azure AD App Proxy
Microsoft doesn't support the Azure AD Application Proxy on RD WebClient (HTML5). Like this MFA and Condintional Access would be possible.
Another benefit is that HTML5 works on all Webbrowsers without downloading software.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/clients/remote-desktop-web-client-admin257 votesWe are starting investigation to make this integration happen. We will update you as we progress on the feature and when we have a release date. Thank you so much for your patience.
Send a note to aadapfeedback@microsoft.com if you have questions!

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
249 votesUpdating the status to indicate that this is a valid suggestion and in our backlog for the future. Please keep the comments/votes coming, knowing more about how you intend to use this helps us prioritize and design better features.

Allow Conversion of AD Synced Accounts to "In Cloud Only"
Up until recently, we were able to convert a user which was AD Synced to a cloud account by moving it to an OU in AD which was not synced.
After the next sync, Office 365 would move it into the deleted folder. If you recover it, it goes into a cloud account. As of a few weeks ago, Microsoft disabled this.Looking at countless threads around the internet, and speaking with representatives from Microsoft Office 365 support, everyone is frustrated with this change, and wants it changed back to the way it was.
246 votesWe are aware of the requirement to be able to convert a synced user to cloud only and are designing that feature, but we have no timelines to share right now.
We reverted the change that would block the “hack” to delete and restore a user to change a user to “Cloud Only”. -
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.
240 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? -
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.
233 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

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
232 votesThis is currently in planning for enabling it for Azure AD joined devices, NOT for AAD DS

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.

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.
217 votesWe are hoping to support more datacenters in the future, especially in the Asia/Pacific region, but it is not currently planned for the short term.

Ability to trigger a dynamic group update
It would be wonderful if there was a way to trigger a re-sync of dynamic groups after changes are made. Right now some changes take over 24 hours to show and when experimenting with new dynamic rules it makes it difficult to see results. The trigger could be something like the Reset and Resync box in Enterprise Apps provisioning or just a Powershell applet that can be run.
209 votesOur feature team is looking into options for addressing this scenario, but we do not yet have any timelines to share. For now as a workaround, you can manually trigger the reprocessing by updating the membership rule to add a whitespace at the end. We’ve also added the ability to check the membership processing status, to keep track of the status and know if processing is complete.

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.
209 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.

Add support for the Microsoft Authenticator app in B2C
Enable the Microsoft Authenticator app to be used for 2FA in Azure B2C.
204 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!

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 ?
203 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

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…

Programmatically register B2C applications
I want to be able to call a Graph API to register new B2C applications
169 votesWe have restarted work on this feature. However, we don’t have a date for public preview yet.
-
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)
169 votesThis is not planned for the next 6 months, but is on the roadmap.

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.…
168 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.
