Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) can provide a user's group membership information in tokens for use within applications. This feature supports three main patterns:

  • Groups identified by their Azure AD object identifier (OID) attribute
  • Groups identified by the sAMAccountName or GroupSID attribute for Active Directory-synchronized groups and users
  • Groups identified by their Display Name attribute for cloud-only groups (Preview)

Important

The number of groups emitted in a token is limited to 150 for SAML assertions and 200 for JWT, including nested groups. In larger organizations, the number of groups where a user is a member might exceed the limit that Azure AD will add to a token. Exceeding a limit can lead to unpredictable results. For workarounds to these limits, read more in Important caveats for this functionality.

Important caveats for this functionality

  • Support for use of sAMAccountName and security identifier (SID) attributes synced from on-premises is designed to enable moving existing applications from Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) and other identity providers. Groups managed in Azure AD don't contain the attributes necessary to emit these claims.

  • In order to avoid the number of groups limit if your users have large numbers of group memberships, you can restrict the groups emitted in claims to the relevant groups for the application. Read more about emitting groups assigned to the application for JWT tokens and SAML tokens. If assigning groups to your applications is not possible, you can also configure a group filter to reduce the number of groups emitted in the claim. Group filtering applies to tokens emitted for apps where group claims and filtering were configured in the Enterprise apps blade in the portal.

  • Group claims have a five-group limit if the token is issued through the implicit flow. Tokens requested via the implicit flow will have a "hasgroups":true claim only if the user is in more than five groups.

  • We recommend basing in-app authorization on application roles rather than groups when:

    • You're developing a new application, or an existing application can be configured for it.
    • Support for nested groups isn't required.

    Using application roles limits the amount of information that needs to go into the token, is more secure, and separates user assignment from app configuration.

Group claims for applications migrating from AD FS and other identity providers

Many applications that are configured to authenticate with AD FS rely on group membership information in the form of Windows Server Active Directory group attributes. These attributes are the group sAMAccountName, which might be qualified by domain name, or the Windows group security identifier (GroupSID). When the application is federated with AD FS, AD FS uses the TokenGroups function to retrieve the group memberships for the user.

An app that has been moved from AD FS needs claims in the same format. Group and role claims emitted from Azure AD might contain the domain-qualified sAMAccountName attribute or the GroupSID attribute synced from Active Directory, rather than the group's Azure AD objectID attribute.

The supported formats for group claims are:

  • Azure AD group ObjectId: Available for all groups.
  • sAMAccountName: Available for groups synchronized from Active Directory.
  • NetbiosDomain\sAMAccountName: Available for groups synchronized from Active Directory.
  • DNSDomainName\sAMAccountName: Available for groups synchronized from Active Directory.
  • On-premises group security identifier: Available for groups synchronized from Active Directory.

Note

sAMAccountName and on-premises GroupSID attributes are available only on group objects synced from Active Directory. They aren't available on groups created in Azure AD or Office 365. Applications configured in Azure AD to get synced on-premises group attributes get them for synced groups only.

Options for applications to consume group information

Applications can call the Microsoft Graph group's endpoint to obtain group information for the authenticated user. This call ensures that all the groups where a user is a member are available, even when a large number of groups is involved. Group enumeration is then independent of limitations on token size.

However, if an existing application expects to consume group information via claims, you can configure Azure AD with various claim formats. Consider the following options:

  • When you're using group membership for in-application authorization, it's preferable to use the group ObjectID attribute. The group ObjectID attribute is immutable and unique in Azure AD. It's available for all groups.

    (Video) Microsoft Entra .. the new Azure Active Directory portal

  • If you're using the on-premises group sAMAccountName attribute for authorization, use domain-qualified names. It reduces the chance of names clashing. sAMAccountName might be unique within an Active Directory domain, but if more than one Active Directory domain is synchronized with an Azure AD tenant, there's a possibility for more than one group to have the same name.

  • Consider using application roles to provide a layer of indirection between the group membership and the application. The application then makes internal authorization decisions based on role claims in the token.

  • If the application is configured to get group attributes that are synced from Active Directory and a group doesn't contain those attributes, it won't be included in the claims.

  • Group claims in tokens include nested groups, except when you're using the option to restrict the group claims to groups that are assigned to the application.

    If a user is a member of GroupB, and GroupB is a member of GroupA, then the group claims for the user will contain both GroupA and GroupB. When an organization's users have large numbers of group memberships, the number of groups listed in the token can grow the token size. Azure AD limits the number of groups that it will emit in a token to 150 for SAML assertions and 200 for JWT. If a user is a member of a larger number of groups, the groups are omitted. A link to the Microsoft Graph endpoint to obtain group information is included instead.

Prerequisites for using group attributes synchronized from Active Directory

Group membership claims can be emitted in tokens for any group if you use the ObjectId format. To use group claims in formats other than group ObjectId, the groups must be synchronized from Active Directory via Azure AD Connect.

To configure Azure AD to emit group names for Active Directory groups:

  1. Synchronize group names from Active Directory

    Before Azure AD can emit the group names or on-premises group SID in group or role claims, you need to synchronize the required attributes from Active Directory. You must be running Azure AD Connect version 1.2.70 or later. Earlier versions of Azure AD Connect than 1.2.70 will synchronize the group objects from Active Directory, but they won't include the required group name attributes.

  2. Configure the application registration in Azure AD to include group claims in tokens

    You can configure group claims in the Enterprise Applications section of the portal, or by using the application manifest in the Application Registrations section. To configure group claims in the application manifest, see Configure the Azure AD application registration for group attributes later in this article.

Add group claims to tokens for SAML applications using SSO configuration

To configure group claims for a gallery or non-gallery SAML application via single sign-on (SSO):

    SelectionDescription
    All groupsEmits security groups and distribution lists and roles.
    Security groupsEmits security groups that the user is a member of in the groups claim.
    Directory rolesIf the user is assigned directory roles, they're emitted as a wids claim. (The group's claim won't be emitted.)
    Groups assigned to the applicationEmits only the groups that are explicitly assigned to the application and that the user is a member of. Recommended for large organizations due to the group number limit in token.
    • For example, to emit all the security groups that the user is a member of, select Security groups.

Note

If you use the option to emit group data as roles, only groups will appear in the role claim. Any application roles that the user is assigned to won't appear in the role claim.

Group filtering

Group filtering allows for fine control of the list of groups that's included as part of the group claim. When a filter is configured, only groups that match the filter will be included in the group's claim that's sent to that application. The filter will be applied against all groups regardless of the group hierarchy.

Note

Group filtering applies to tokens emitted for apps where group claims and filtering was configured in the Enterprise apps blade in the portal.

You can configure filters to be applied to the group's display name or SAMAccountName attribute. The following filtering operations are supported:

  • Prefix: Matches the start of the selected attribute.
  • Suffix: Matches the end of the selected attribute.
  • Contains: Matches any location in the selected attribute.

Group transformation

Some applications might require the groups in a different format from how they're represented in Azure AD. To support this requirement, you can apply a transformation to each group that will be emitted in the group claim. You achieve it by allowing the configuration of a regular expression (regex) and a replacement value on custom group claims.

Configure group claims for applications by using Azure Active Directory - Microsoft Entra (12)\

  • Regex pattern: Use a regex to parse text strings according to the pattern that you set in this box. If the regex pattern that you outline evaluates to true, the regex replacement pattern will run.
  • Regex replacement pattern: Outline in regex notation how you want to replace your string if the regex pattern that you outlined evaluates to true. Use capture groups to match subexpressions in this replacement regex.

For more information about regex replace and capture groups, see The Regular Expression Object Model: The Captured Group.

Note

As described in the Azure AD documentation, you can't modify a restricted claim by using a policy. The data source can't be changed, and no transformation is applied when you're generating these claims. The group claim is still a restricted claim, so you need to customize the groups by changing the name. If you select a restricted name for the name of your custom group claim, the claim will be ignored at runtime.

You can also use the regex transform feature as a filter, because any groups that don't match the regex pattern will not be emitted in the resulting claim.

If the transform applied to the original groups claim results in a new custom claim, then the original groups claim will be omitted from the token. However, if the configured regex doesn't match any value in the original list, then the custom claim will not be present and the original groups claim will be included in the token.

Edit the group claim configuration

After you add a group claim configuration to the User Attributes & Claims configuration, the option to add a group claim will be unavailable. To change the group claim configuration, select the group claim in the Additional claims list.

Configure group claims for applications by using Azure Active Directory - Microsoft Entra (13)

Configure the Azure AD application registration for group attributes

You can also configure group claims in the optional claims section of the application manifest.

(Video) Microsoft Entra Identity & Access Management

  1. In the portal, select Azure Active Directory > Application Registrations > Select Application > Manifest.

  2. Enable group membership claims by changing groupMembershipClaims.

    Valid values are:

    SelectionDescription
    AllEmits security groups, distribution lists, and roles.
    SecurityGroupEmits security groups that the user is a member of in the group claim.
    DirectoryRoleIf the user is assigned directory roles, they're emitted as a wids claim. (A group claim won't be emitted.)
    ApplicationGroupEmits only the groups that are explicitly assigned to the application and that the user is a member of.
    NoneNo groups are returned. (It's not case-sensitive, so none also works. It can be set directly in the application manifest.)

    For example:

    "groupMembershipClaims": "SecurityGroup"

    By default, group ObjectID attributes will be emitted in the group claim value. To modify the claim value to contain on-premises group attributes, or to change the claim type to a role, use the optionalClaims configuration described in the next step.

  3. Set optional claims for group name configuration.

    If you want the groups in the token to contain the on-premises Active Directory group attributes, specify which token-type optional claim should be applied in the optionalClaims section. You can list multiple token types:

    • idToken for the OIDC ID token
    • accessToken for the OAuth/OIDC access token
    • Saml2Token for SAML tokens

    Note

    The Saml2Token type applies to tokens in both SAML1.1 and SAML2.0 format.

    For each relevant token type, modify the group claim to use the optionalClaims section in the manifest. The optionalClaims schema is as follows:

    {"name": "groups","source": null,"essential": false,"additionalProperties": []}
    Optional claims schemaValue
    nameMust be "groups".
    sourceNot used. Omit or specify null.
    essentialNot used. Omit or specify false.
    additionalPropertiesList of additional properties. Valid options are "sam_account_name", "dns_domain_and_sam_account_name", "netbios_domain_and_sam_account_name", "cloud_displayname", and "emit_as_roles".

    In additionalProperties, only one of "sam_account_name", "dns_domain_and_sam_account_name", or "netbios_domain_and_sam_account_name" is required. If more than one is present, the first is used and any others are ignored.

    Some applications require group information about the user in the role claim. To change the claim type to from a group claim to a role claim, add "emit_as_roles" to additional properties. The group values will be emitted in the role claim.

    To emit group display name for cloud-only groups, you can add "cloud_displayname" to additional properties. This option will work only when “groupMembershipClaims” is set to ApplicationGroup

    Note

    If you use "emit_as_roles", any configured application roles that the user is assigned to will not appear in the role claim.

Examples

Emit groups as group names in OAuth access tokens in DNSDomainName\sAMAccountName format:

"optionalClaims": { "accessToken": [{ "name": "groups", "additionalProperties": ["dns_domain_and_sam_account_name"] }]}

Emit group names to be returned in NetbiosDomain\sAMAccountName format as the role claim in SAML and OIDC ID tokens:

"optionalClaims": { "saml2Token": [{ "name": "groups", "additionalProperties": ["netbios_domain_and_sam_account_name", "emit_as_roles"] }], "idToken": [{ "name": "groups", "additionalProperties": ["netbios_domain_and_sam_account_name", "emit_as_roles"] }]}
