Adding an Azure AD user

As with Active Directory (AD), the preferred method of adding an Azure AD user is for the applicable user to log in and let NetVault complete the authentication process. However, if you have the applicable privileges, at a minimum, you must have the Users — Administer user accounts privilege, you can manually add the user, where it will also consider the privileges defined to the selected user before renaming it to an Azure AD user.

When you add an Azure AD user to the NetVault Server, NetVault automatically fetches the respective user information from Azure AD and populates it in the NetVault user details. When you add users manually, NetVault automatically assigns the user the privileges that are defined for the Azure AD group to which the user belongs.

To add an Azure AD user account to NetVault:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Users and Groups.
2
On the Manage User Accounts and User Groups page, click Add User.
3
Select the user on Manage User Accounts and User Groups page and click Modify Details.
4
Enter the Azure AD user name; for example, username@domain.com.
5
Click Apply.

Deleting an Azure AD user

A local NetVault Administrator or NetVault user with administrative privileges can remove an Azure AD user from NetVault. This does not affect the user’s account in Azure AD; it only removes the user from the NetVault Database.

To delete an Azure AD user from the NetVault Database:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Users and Groups.
2
On the Manage User Accounts and User Groups page, select the user account that you want to remove, and click Delete.
 
* 
NOTE: You can select multiple user accounts to delete at one time.
3
In the confirmation dialog box, click Delete.

Managing Azure AD groups

An administrator can perform the following tasks for Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) groups.

•
Adding an Azure AD group to NetVault Server
•
Viewing a list of Azure AD groups that exist in NetVault
•
Modifying the description of an Azure AD group in NetVault
•
Deleting an Azure AD group from NetVault

Adding an Azure AD group to NetVault Server

An Azure AD NetVault user with administrative privileges must add Azure AD groups to the NetVault Server before they can be viewed, updated, or deleted by a local NetVault Administrator.

1
In the Navigation pane, click Users and Groups.
2
On the Manage User Accounts and User Groups page, select Groups tab, a list of existing groups added in NetVault Server are displayed.
3
To add an Azure AD group to the NetVault Database, the Azure AD user must have the Users — Administer user accounts privilege, click Add Group.
Select All Groups to see a list of all the available Azure AD groups that you can add to NetVault Server.
To search the group name,type in Enter Group Name search field partially or completely, the search results displays only matching groups. The Search Group by Name option is a default selection to add a group in NetVault.
4
Select the applicable group, enter an optional description in the text box, and click Save Group.
Once the group is added to the NetVault Database, you can define the privileges, levels of access, and notifications for the group within NetVault.
5
To update membership information, click Client and media group memberships.
