Azure AD to set SharePoint Permissions


Poor Performance when using Azure AD to set SharePoint Permissions

Question

I use Azure AD. I use Azure AD for setting permissions in SharePoint. I am seeing poor performance using WebDrive for these SharePoint connections. What can I do?

Answer

If SharePoint sites are setup to use security groups in Azure AD for setting permissions, this may be causing a performance issue.  Add the users directly to SharePoint permissions for sites and then try again.
