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.
