   Note: Modifications (adding and removing a user) made to Active Directory (AD) and Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) groups may take time to reflect as they are dependent on the responsiveness of the AD and Azure AD services. For more information about AD and Azure AD services, see the Microsoft Documentation.
