Using Azure AD Groups to import users

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by migi111 485

I have configured AD group to System Admin -> Groups. Now, when a user, that belongs to the group, logs in to D365FO, the user is automatically created, but the user id appears to be some random string.

Is there a way to get a decent user id like. firstname.lastname? Just like when a user is manually imported.

Thanks,

Migi

    Andre has given a tip in his blog  about  renaming the user ID . Take a look at his blog for more details which you might be missing.

    Hi migi111,

    Currently, there is only a manual way to rename the user. If you read my blog shared by Sukrut, you will also find a link to an idea. You can vote on that idea to get it higher prioritized by Microsoft: experience.dynamics.com/.../
