How do I create dynamic groups?
How do I create dynamic groups?
You can create dynamic groups in Entra ID by creating a Security Group with a dynamic user membership type.
Specify a dynamic query for the membership rules. For example, if you want the group to consist of users with an employee ID, add the following dynamic query to the membership rules: "user.employeeId -ne $null". After you save the settings, Entra ID automatically adds all users with an employee ID to the group. Specifics can vary depending on the requirements of your dynamic group. Therefore, adjust the dynamic query according to your needs.
We recommend you contact your Microsoft support team for guidance on creating dynamic groups within their platform.
