How to include Azure group Name instead of group ID in token

Question

Hi,

Our Azure application requires a group name to be sent in the response, but we always get a group ID. Currently, we use MS Graph API to get the Group names using the IDs.

I am looking for a possible solution in which I can get the Group name directly in the token response as part of the claims. This way, we don't have to make graph API calls to retrieve the group names.

Note:

1. We are authenticating the app via an App Registration using OpenID Connect,
2. Ours is not an on-prim.

Thanks in advance,

Raja

Hi @Raja Rathinam M

Thank you for posting this in Microsoft Q&A.

I understand that you want to include the group names in the token response as claims, instead of relying on MS Graph API calls to retrieve them.

Currently, group names can be retrieved in SAML applications, and the groups can be synchronized from Active Directory via Microsoft Entra Connect.

As of now it is not possible to retrieve the group display name in app registration.

For your reference: Configure group claims for applications by using Microsoft Entra ID
