How long does a dynamic group take to populate?
Depending on the size of your Azure AD organization, the group may take up to 24 hours for populating for the first time or after a rule change. This is expected behavior. Existing members of the group are removed when a rule is enabled or changed.
Azure Active Directory Dynamic Groups Azure AD has a system known as Dynamic Groups – which allows you to create a Security Group where membership is based on the AD Attributes of the users.
What is a dynamic group in Azure AD?
In Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), you can create complex attribute-based rules to enable dynamic memberships for groups. Dynamic group membership reduces the administrative overhead of adding and removing users. If a user or device satisfies a rule on a group, they are added as a member of that group.
Can you use ad groups in teams?
Microsoft Teams can use Azure AD groups to help in bulk adding members to a team. The act of adding members to a team using the method below will COPY the membership of the group to the team, it will not create a synchronized relationship between the team and the group.
If it is associated with a Group, the permission model you’re used to is going to be different. You can easily confuse users and expose content in a way they don’t want to if you try and apply and manipulate traditional SharePoint permissions in a Group site.
Can you create a SharePoint site that is not part of a group?
Membership, by default, is synced across these tools. It is still possible to create a Modern SharePoint Site that isn’t part of a group, and in that case you get the usual permission levels. If you’re adding users to a traditional SharePoint site, add them using the Gear Icon and Site Permissions link.
Late answer but, The User Profile is not responsible in this case. SharePoint recognizes AD security groups and attaching permissions to these groups will cause the permissions to be granted to the User.
As a SharePoint Site Owner, you should already be familiar with these permissions concepts: This has been the model for On-Premises SharePoint Site Collections for some time. It’s hard not to spawn a SharePoint Site Collection when using the new Modern Office 365 tools like Teams, Planner, and Outlook.
