Using groups vs using application roles for authorization in Azure AD apps

Read Original

This technical article analyzes two authorization methods in Azure AD apps: security groups and application roles. It details how group claims work, token size limitations, and the need for Graph API calls. The author advocates for application roles, arguing they provide clearer access management than groups, which can obscure user permissions.
