Microsoft Launches Container Management Support for Security Groups

Security groups support for container management labels.

A recent blog from the Microsoft Digital (IT department) discusses the preview implementation of container management labels for security groups. The implementation is limited because it encompasses just one control: the ability to have guest accounts in the membership of security groups. However, just that limited control is sufficient to stop unintended access to sensitive information by guest accounts, and that’s a very good thing.

Microsoft Graph Doesn’t Support Custom Attributes for Groups

Container management labels are an effective way to ensure that groups, teams, and sites have the right settings. The Graph doesn’t support custom attributes for groups, so these attributes aren’t available to store details of the “approved” container management label to check if anyone has changed the label after the original assignment. Time to find a new way to store this data.
