Executive Summary
Customers operating GroupID versions earlier than 10.0.7784.0 Patch 373364-B may experience a disruption in GroupID’s integrations with Microsoft’s Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) and Office 365 unless you take action to prevent it. Microsoft has announced a plan to enforce multi-factor authentication requirements for all users accessing Microsoft Azure services in early 2025, including Entra ID and Office 365. Older versions of GroupID make use of a legacy user-based integration that is incompatible with a requirement for multi-factor authentication. GroupID 11 is unaffected.
Solution
An patch for GroupID 10 SR2 has been released which introduces support for modern workload identities which conform with Microsoft’s best practices for application integrations and will not be affected by Microsoft’s plan to require multifactor authentication for all user access. All Netwrix GroupID customers running an affected version are advised to update GroupID to version 10.0.7784.0 Patch 373364-B or later as soon as possible.
Documentation on this patch is available in the helpcenter. Please contact the Netwrix technical support team should you need assistance.
