Asked By CleverPineapple42 On

Hey everyone! I'm curious about how you're handling Linux permissions when using Entra ID sign-in. Is there a way to sync Entra ID groups and assign local rights on a VM? I understand that while Entra ID provides SUDO rights, it doesn't seem to offer much flexibility when it comes to partial sudo rights for individual users. It feels like this feature isn't quite ready for more complex use cases, especially compared to using SSSD with domain services. Is that a fair assessment?

What distro are you working with? If you're on the Red Hat side, IdM can really help streamline permissions. But if you're using different distros, SSSD is a solid choice too. Just keep in mind, you still need a Domain Controller or Entra ID Domain Services for it to work right.

Totally agree, Microsoft’s tools for Linux leave a lot to be desired. Entra ID signing seems more focused on server management rather than catering to multi-user environments. If you need users to have some SUDO privileges, you might want to look into other tools like Salt or a reliable identity management system.
