Leveraging O365 Groups for PBIRS Secuirty

ge5536 — Mon, 31 Aug 2020 13:32:09 GMT

Hello!

Is it possible to take advantage of existing o365 groups (or other Azure AD objects) for the on-premise report server?

I haven't found any information that supports this as a feature, but wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.

Thanks in advance!

ge5536 - Are these cloud only groups or are they sync'd back to on-premises AD?

Hello Greg_Deckler - They do not currently sync back to on-premise AD. I'll have to reach out to our AD admins about this. They were originally against this, but perhaps they will reconsider.
I'm not well versed in this topic, but I'm assuming with the sync back, I would be able to use them as any other local AD object?
Thanks!

ge5536 - Correct, if they appear in your on-premises AD then you could use them. Otherwise, I do not believe that PBIRS can use cloud-only O365 groups.
