Questions

Why can't I see my Azure resources on the drop down list?

Some Azure Active Directory are restrictive about who is able to view them. For Groups with strong security settings, you will need to type out the email of the group (like [email protected]).

You might also need to pull in an update of your Azure Active Directory. If you visit the Resources section of your Indent Dashboard, you can click Pull update Azure Active Directory. If you find Groups are still absent, contact Indent Support.
