Azure AD Groups are used to manage access to resources in Azure. They are collections of users, devices, or other groups, and can be used to assign permissions to resources or to simplify management of access to resources.
There are two types of Azure AD Groups:
- Security groups: These are used to assign permissions to resources. Security groups can be used to grant access to specific resources or to group users with similar access needs.
- Microsoft 365 Groups: These are used to simplify management of access to Microsoft 365 services, such as Teams or SharePoint. Microsoft 365 Groups can include a security group, distribution list, and shared mailbox, and can be used to provide access to Microsoft 365 services for a specific group of users.
Azure AD Groups can be created and managed through the Azure portal, Azure AD PowerShell, or the Azure AD Graph API.
