How to use AD groups in Sharepoint Online
t_brejon I have a similar issue. I have been doing some troubleshooting and it looks like everything works fine IF you add the AD group to one of those default group that come on SharePoint (visitors, members or owners). If I add the AD group to a newly created SharePoint group I got access denied.
If someone have any suggestion, it will be appreciated.

As long as you have given the new SharePoint Group the right permission level there shouldn't be an issue. Sounds like one for a support ticket.
Andrew Hodges I think you're right on the money! Last night I kept troubleshooting and I realized that when I originally created the group I did not gave any permissions at the time of creation. I gave the permission later when I was assigning it to the site and library permissions. Yesterday I created a new group and assigned READ at the time of creation. Then I compare both groups against a user (using the check permission options), I noticed that the first group gave READ,Limited Access. And the second group only have READ.
I'm not sure why that Limited Access appeared, but it was creating the issues. My guest it was the fact of not check in the option for READ at time of creation. I does not make much sense, but it is what it is. Later today or next week I will run a full test on this and I will come back here to update the community.
