ExO RBAC improvements #2: Support for administrative units
Microsoft's Azure Active Directory (AD) utilizes administrative units (AUs) as the equivalent to an organizational unit (OU). They have been an integral part of Azure AD's role-based access control (RBAC) model over the years, and their importance has only grown. Microsoft is gradually expanding support for AUs in different workloads, and this article delves deeper into how they function within the RBAC model, with specific focus on their use in Exchange Online (ExO).
As the post details the new improvements made, it provides valuable information to those looking to better understand and optimize Azure AD's RBAC model and their use of AUs.
The article serves as a must-read for anyone seeking to get the most out of Azure AD and its role-based access control model.
