Create a Business Group
Tenant administrators create business groups to associate a set of services and resources to a set of
users, often corresponding to a line of business, department, or other organizational unit. Users must
belong to a business group to request machines.
To add multiple users to a business group role, you can add multiple individual users, or you can add
multiple users at the same time by adding an identity store group or a custom group to a role. For
example, you can create a custom group Sales Support Team and add that group to the support role. For
information about creating custom groups, see Tenant Administration. You can also use existing identity
store user groups. The users and groups you choose must be valid in the identity store.
