Need help with SharePoint and Security Groups
The best approach I have seen includes a two tier level: creating AD security groups then adding these groups to SP groups that make more sense to the structure of your site. That way, when someone gets turned off in AD, they are removed from all SP groups you created. It is a bit abstract, but seems to work.

shawn_fieldinghave you encountered issues wherein a user is a member of a security group in AD and that security group is a member of a SharePoint group yet adding a member to that security group does not grant them membership to that SharePoint group?
It used to be simple to grant a user membership to a particular SharePoint group. We would simply add them to the membership security group in AD and wait for it to replicate from AD to SharePoint online. Now, for some reason, that practice is becoming more hit and miss with regards to a successful outcome. We have several employees that have been added to the security group but that is not replicating out to SharePoint online.
