AD Groups

[BruceAtHeathrow]

Hello, to add new members to an AD group in PowerBI, Admin needs to remove the access for the group and re-add the group, only then is access granted to new members.  How can new group members be automatically given access?  New groups and members are maintained in local AD synchronised to Azure AD.

Hi @BruceAtHeathrow

You could use powershell to automatically add new members to the AD group.

Power BI Group management using Active Directory roles and PowerShell

Power BI just rolled out new workspaces that will work with AD groups (security and distribution). So you can just tie one of the roles to a group in the workspace and as users are added and removed in your AD (once they are AD synced) they'll be updated in power BI.
