I need to restrict the users from adding to the groups manually in Azure, any help on this issue?
Thanks #Rahul Shukla for your suggestion .
Restrict Users from adding to groups
Give the user with reader or contributor permission to the user .
if you add that user the reader permission they will then be able to read any resource in the subscription, but not modify anything.
For more details refer this document: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/role-based-access-control/role-assignments-portal?tabs=current
2)Prevent admin to add the users to group
Create review process in places where if any user gets added in the group admin will get notification for the same and based on admin approval only it will gets added.
Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) access reviews enable organizations to efficiently manage group memberships, access to enterprise applications, and role assignments. User's access can be reviewed on a regular basis to make sure only the right people have continued access

Is there a way in Microsoft Graph how to check whether signed-in user (device code auth is used) has a specific AAD permission? In my case that would be Microsoft.Directory/groups/members/update - I'd like to notify a user that he/she is not permitted to add service principal to an AD group.
My initial idea was to find DirectoryRoles a user is member of. Then view related DirectoryRoleTemplates and somehow check permissions attached to the template. It looks like this is not possible.
I'm a program manager at Microsoft working on Azure AD access control. Thanks for your question and feedback. As Allen says, we don't have an API for this today. The best we have is what's called the 'wids' claim in the user's access token. Search this article for 'wids' for more information.
The wids claim contains the list of directory role template object ids the user is a member of. Role template object ids are immutable and consistent across the system, so you can hardcode your check against them. There is a role to template id mapping table here.
We're looking at exposing an API that returns the list of underlying permissions of the signed-in user following the syntax Allen mentions from the documentation. However, I don't have a date yet on when that would be available.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks again,
Vince Smith
Currently Microsoft has not exposed an API for obtaining Role permissions corresponding to DirectoryRole.
Based on the official document, microsoft.directory/groups/members/update permission only exists in the following roles:
Directory Writers
Groups Administrator
User Account Administrator
Intune Service Administrator
Partner Tier1 Support
Partner Tier2 Support
A workaround is to customize a config file in your project to set the fixed values. Read them to see if the user's directory role matches one of them.
Searched through the SO, internet, docs and couldn't find the best answer for this. Might be that you will know the answer or will transfer me where appropriate.
In Azure we do have a Directory with 1 subscription assigned. Within this directory we have a user, this user:
* IS the OWNER of subscription
* IS NOT the AzureAD Administrator (user has not additional rights). This user is no able to add/remove users/groups with the currect Ad.
However what we found is that such a user CAN create ne directory, where he can be automatically assigned to Global Admin role (create/remove users/groups etc) and CAN move above memntioned subscription to newly created directory he owns and manage.
This is of course not what we expect as we want to have a control of any AD and user access management.
I couldn't find yet a way to deny all user within directory to create separate directory.
Do you have some experience with this and/or some advice?

Forget about it ;) Just found option "Restrict access to Azure AD administration portal" under AzureAD which restrict the access to AD itself.
We invite Azure B2B guest users to our AD in order for them to access a web application. Part of this process also adds them as members of a specific security group.
What I have noticed is that a B2B user can log in - (https://account.activedirectory.windowsazure.com) - and is able to see the other members of the group that they are members of.
Given that this information contains customer email addresses then it presents issues relating to GDPR.
The AD Administration Portal user settings are set to "restrict access to Azure AD admin portal"
Any ideas how we could restrict B2B users from being able to enumerate group membership in this manner ?
Let me list some facts
The below part is a manual step that is not related to adding B2B guest user
Part of this process also adds them as members of a specific security group.
When you create a security group, all members can see the list of available information of other members
As guest users on Azure are identified using their email, the email addresses of all members of a security group will be visible to other group members
The workaround for this is to create separate a security group for each domain (i.e each company or each group of users who have the same #xxxx.com at their email). Then gather all those groups in a single parent security group and assign access to that parent group
This way, all guest users will have the same resource access but each group will be able to see only information about members on their same subgroup
As you can see my question above, I was wondering if it is possible to retrieve the assigned groups of an Azure Active Directory (AAD) based user via Microsoft GraphAPI.
My situation is, that I have an ASP.NET MVC project with Microsoft Azure enabled. My goal is, that an Azure user can login on my website with it's Azure account.
The idea is, that an azure user is an admin or an user (depending on the azure groups) and depending of this role group, the user can view more or less of my webpage.
For example:
When Peter logs in with his azure account on my webpage, he should only be able to see:
Add new Document
Edit Document
Remove Document
because he is only assigned as "User" in Azure Active Directory.
But when Sabrina logs in with her azure account on my webpage, then she should be able to do the same as Peter, but she also can see:
Manage Products
Add new customer
etc.
because she is been assigned as an admin in Azure Active Directory.
My problem is, that I did not find out how I retrieve the assigned group of an user with Microsoft GraphAPI. The part, which user can see or not after I got the roles is not a big deal.
I already tried this API call:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/
But it seems, that the response of this call does not include the actual assigned group of that user.
Do you think it is possible to retrieve the assigned group of an azure user? Is this even possible? Or do I have to do something else to retrieve these information?
I hope you understand my point and I am also looking forward for any response. Thanks in advance!
Add /memberOf to the URL to receive the groups a user is member of.
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/memberOf
Here's a link to the specific graph api - https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/docs/api-reference/v1.0/api/user_getmembergroups
Take a look at this sample application on Github. It does something very similar with a task tracker application, where different users are able to perform different actions based on the group they belong to -
https://github.com/Azure-Samples/active-directory-dotnet-webapp-groupclaims/blob/master/README.md
Also, in cases where a user is a member of too many groups, you get back an overage indicator and have to make a separate call to get all groups. Read about “hasgroups” and “groups:src1” claims here - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/v1-id-and-access-tokens
According to your system architecture, if some user has too many joined groups, the API https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/docs/api-reference/v1.0/api/user_getmembergroups will return too many groups.
But if the groups with permissions in your system are not too much, you can use this API: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/docs/api-reference/v1.0/api/user_checkmembergroups to check if the current user is the member of specified groups.
It is not good idea to use this API: https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/memberOf. Because it returns only the groups that the user is a direct member of, but security group can be member of security group.
I am trying to give other users access to my resources in the Azure portal. I am trying to add them as a Contributor, but it seems like they are not able to see the resources when they login to the Azure portal.
Here's the access control list for the VM:
Any ideas why they can't see the resource when they login to the portal?
They are a Contributor.
When you add a user to an Azure subscription, s/he is also added to the directory if s/he isn't already there. This is considered an "invitation" that must be accepted before the user can get access. Tell the person to check their email, if this is the first time the email address has been added to a subscription in the directory. (Note that personal subscriptions are usually created along with a new directory whereas company subscriptions are usually in the company's directory.)
After accepting the invitation, s/he will need to switch to the directory before the subscription will be visible. You can do that in the top-right, like Juunas mentioned in the comment above. Here's a link to the directory switcher: https://portal.azure.com/#menu/account.
Steps to reproduce-
As owner:
Go to Resource Group you want to give access to:
Go to IAM:
Go to 'Add ROLE ASSIGNMENTS'
Search the name you want to give access to:
Select the Role (Contributor in your case)
Click Add and they will recieve an email.
