Active Directory security groups migration from SharePoint 2013 to SharePoint Online
You can use Azure AD Security groups, but keep in mind this will increase the burden on IT to manage them versus allowing specified site owners to manage their own access.
When I did a migration from On Premise to SharePoint Online using the ShareGate Desktop Migration tool, these security groups did not added in the People and Groups of SharePoint Online Site.
So the first step is replicate the AD security groups to Azure AD. Then Migrate the site right.
Hi Sajith G H ,
Sharegate will not migrate AD groups but if the AD group exists and can be resolved in SharePoint Online it will add it as part of the migration.
I am not expert on AD but when requested in the past the AD group needs to be in an Organisation Unit that is synced to Azure AD for this to work.
Hope that helps
