Entra ID Group Writeback Option Missing from Portal Web Interface
Yesterday in the middle of the day, the group writeback option for Azure AD (Entra ID) security groups and M365 groups was removed from the properties section for each group. (It’s normally below the “Microsoft Entra roles can be assigned to the group” y/n). This is regardless of whether you utilize portal.azure.com or entra.microsoft.com.
I had connected to the portal earlier in the day and saw it, then re-authed later in the day and it was gone for all groups. This was verified by a co-worker.
You can still see the writeback option via the group ‘list’ by adding the writeback column (i.e. Home -> Groups -> All Groups -> Manage View -> Edit Columns), but I’m curious if this was an intended change? I’ve heard that group writeback support might be going away from Entra ID Connect in favor of Entra Cloud Sync, but that shouldn’t affect the actual group attribute for the writeback status within the Azure portal.
When searching, I haven’t found anything mentioning the change so I was curious if anyone knew something that I couldn’t find.
Thanks.
