View groups and group details

Depending on your group and platform role assignments, you can view the following group types in Cloud Commander:

Platform user group: A platform user group is exclusive to Cloud Commander and is used to assign platform roles to members performing tasks in Cloud Commander. See Manage platform user groups.

Microsoft Entra ID group: A Microsoft Entra ID group includes Microsoft 365 groups, Microsoft Security groups, and Distribution groups. These groups can be imported from the cloud or created in Cloud Commander and then written to Microsoft Entra ID. You can assign platform roles to Microsoft Entra ID groups.

  • Microsoft 365 group: Facilitates collaboration by providing members with access to a shared mailbox, calendar, files, SharePoint site, and more.
  • Microsoft Security group: Manages access and permissions to resources.
  • Distribution group: Distributes messages to all its members.
