Moving users from SQL Server table to Active Directory

Question

I have a table in my SQL Server database which stores the users who have access to my application. Now, I want to move these users to an AD group.

One option is to create a hangfire job and move these users to AD group using LDAP queries. However, there are very less instances of new users being added.

Is there any way of moving a newly created user to AD group through SQL only? I'm trying to find a way of not using the hangfire job. Is this even possible?

Answer 1

Not sure about hangfire job, but SQL is not a good choice for your requirements. Since SQL is only applicable for RDBMS query, transferring users from SQL server database to Azure AD isn't sound realistic. I recommend you the standard approach for that.

You can use PowerShell to add member to Azure AD group.

Add-AzureADGroupMember 
   -ObjectId <String> 
   -RefObjectId <String> 
   [-InformationAction <ActionPreference>] 
   [-InformationVariable <String>] 
   [<CommonParameters>]
