# Sync Grafana teams with Azure Active Directory groups (preview)
1212

13-
In this guide, you learn how to use Azure ActiveDirectory (Azure AD) groups with [Grafana Team Sync](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/setup-grafana/configure-security/configure-team-sync/) (Azure AD group sync) to set dashboard permissions in Azure Managed Grafana. Grafana allows you to control access to its resources at multiple levels. In Managed Grafana, you use the built-in Azure RBAC roles for Grafana to define access rights users have. These permissions are applied to all resources in your Grafana workspace by default. You can't, for example, grant someone edit permission to only one particular dashboard with RBAC. If you assign a user to the Grafana Editor role, that user can make changes to any dashboard in your Grafana workspace. Using Grafana's [granular permission model](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/setup-grafana/configure-security/configure-team-sync/), you can elevate or demote a user's default permission level for specific dashboards (or dashboard folders).

Setting up dashboard permissions for individual users in Managed Grafana is a little tricky. Managed Grafana stores the user assignments for its built-in RBAC roles in Azure AD. For performance reasons, it doesn't automatically synchronizes the user assignments to Grafana workspaces. Users in these roles don't show up in Grafana's **Configuration** UI until they've signed in once. You can only grant users extra permissions after they appear in the Grafana user list in **Configuration**. Azure AD group sync gets around this issue. With this feature, you create a *Grafana team* in your Grafana workspace linked with an Azure AD group. You then use that team in configuring your dashboard permissions. For example, you can grant a viewer the ability to modify a dashboard or block an editor from being able to make changes. You don't need to manage the team's member list separately since its membership is already defined in the associated Azure AD group.
