Download the Entra ID groups and specify Rule assignments

Once we have Rules to assign and we’ve created an Entra ID Sync, we can specify the Rules that should be assigned or unassigned to the group members.

• Open Resource Manager.
• Navigate to Scheduled Tasks > Microsoft Entra ID Sync.
• Double click the Entra ID Sync on the right-hand side.
• Click the Group Filters and Rules tab.
• Click the Download all groups button.
• Select the group (or multi-select) to which members will be assigned or unassigned from Rules.
• Click the Edit button.
• In the Group window, click the Rule assignments tab.
• Select the Rule (or multi-select) and click Edit assignment (if you are multi-editing groups, tick the checkbox in the top left to enable the control).
• Select the assignment from the Set assignment drop-down and click OK.
• Click OK again.

The next time the Entra ID Sync executes, the users will receive the Rule assignments based on their group membership.
