Axonius supports Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) New group as an event in a Workflow.
Users can create a new group in Microsoft Entra ID using the following Enforcement Action:
- Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) - Create group - Creates a new group in Microsoft Entra ID for users returned by the selected query or users selected on the Users page.
Whenever a group is added to Microsoft Entra ID (Azure Active Directory), Microsoft Entra ID triggers an event. All Workflows configured with this event are then triggered.
Configuring Microsoft Entra ID to Send Events to Axonius
Before including the Microsoft Entra ID New Group event in a Workflow the first time, you need to do the following:
- In the Microsoft Entra ID adapter - Advanced Configuration, enable the Enable real-time asset updates (Supported events: New users, New groups, Group members changes) advanced option.
- Enable events in the Microsoft Entra ID adapter from System Settings - Workflows Events or from the Workflow Event configuration. The following screen shows enabling events from the System Settings> External Integrations> Workflows Events screen.
Adding the Microsoft Entra ID New Group Event to the Workflow
Add Microsoft Entra ID New group as the triggering event of a Workflow or as an event anywhere else in the Workflow, where relevant. When this event occurs, the Workflow begins or continues running.
To select the Microsoft Entra ID New group event as the Workflow trigger
- In the Trigger Type pane, under Group Created or Updated, click the Microsoft Entra ID New group tile. The Microsoft Entra ID New group configuration opens in the Trigger Type pane.
- If there is no valid adapter connection or events are not enabled in the adapter, configure a valid adapter connection and/or enable events in the adapter.
- When events are enabled in a valid adapter connection, the following screen appears:
The Workflow is triggered each time a group is added to Microsoft Entra ID. The next node runs on the retrieved group.
To select Microsoft Entra ID New group as a non-triggering event
- In the Event pane, under Group Created or Updated, click the Microsoft Entra ID New group tile. The Microsoft Entra ID New group configuration opens in the Event pane.
- If there is no valid adapter connection or events are not enabled in the adapter, configure a valid adapter connection and/or enable events in the adapter.
- When events are enabled in a valid adapter connection, the following screen appears:
In this case, when a group is created in Microsoft Entra ID for a user asset retrieved from the previous node, an event occurs and the Workflow continues running.
