Explanation To configure Manifest to include Group Claims in Auth Token * Go to Azure Active Directory to configure the Manifest. Click on Azure Active Directory, and go to App registrations to find your application: * Click on your application (or search for it if you have a lot of apps) and edit the Manifest by clicking on it. * Locate the "groupMembershipClaims" setting. Set its value to either "SecurityGroup" or "All". To help you decide which: * "SecurityGroup" - groups claim will contain the identifiers of all security groups of which the user is a member. * "All" - groups claim will contain the identifiers of all security groups and all distribution lists of which the user is a member Now your application will include group claims in your manifest and you can use this fact in your code.
