Convert Group Source of Authority to the cloud. Global Groups support?!

This is the exact feature we need, unfortunately it's also unusable for an existing environment.

Does anyone know when Entra SOA will support global groups? 

We have ZERO universal groups and we are not going to convert into them.

  • Hi zipcodenull, for now I would plan around the documented limitation rather than waiting on an unknown timeline. If the feature only supports certain group scopes, global groups will need either conversion planning or a parallel cloud-native group approach. In a real environment, I would not mass-convert groups without first checking app dependencies, file permissions, mail attributes, and nested group usage. If global group support is required, the best path is to raise it through Microsoft feedback/support with the exact migration blocker and business impact.
