Add an Entra ID Group

To add an Entra ID Security Group to Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud:

1. Create the relevant group in Entra ID and add the relevant users.

Note

We recommend you create an Entra ID group for each PMPC Cloud User Role you plan to use.

1. In the PMPC Cloud portal, navigate to Settings | Users.

   

2. Click Add Group.

   

3. On the Available Groups screen, click the checkbox beside the relevant Entra ID Security Group you want to add, then select the PMPC Cloud role you want to assign to this group from the Role dropdown.

   

Note

If you assign an Entra ID Security Group the Full Admin with Access Management role, all of this group’s members will receive notifications such as access requests, new version notifications for Binary Free apps (if configured), claim ownership notifications, etc.

The selected Entra ID Security Group and role you’ve assigned it in your portal is shown.

1. Repeat Step 4 to add any additional groups/roles.

Important

In the current release, you can add up to ten Entra ID Security Groups.

1. Click Add Group.

   

   The portal auto-refreshes, showing the selected groups have been added and the Success – Group created notification is shown.

   

When you add an Entra ID Security Group, the Group role with id <entra_id_security_group_id> was created with role <user_role> event is written to the Events node.

Note

If a user is a member of one or more Entra ID Security Groups assigned different roles, their effective role will be a combination of all the roles assigned to any Entra ID Groups they are a member of.

Likewise, if a user has been added directly to the portal using the Add a User process and they are also a member of one or more Entra ID Security Groups assigned different roles, the same applies, i.e., their effective role will be a combination of all of the roles assigned to them directly in the portal and to any Entra ID Groups they are a member of.
