We are on server 2010.0.1.0

I need some advice here because I don’t want to accept that is is the best way to do it

We want to manage our EPP permissions for users via AD groups. Therefore we have everything configured on the “groups” level. We have also switched to Azure Active Directory AD-Sync as I encountered a similar problem in the past and had hoped that this is solving the problem.

In our environment it is relatively common that an ad-group gets renamed. If that is the case EPP creates a new group and we therefore have to “transfer” every “right” and “setting” from the old group to this new group with the new name and then delete the old group.

Isn’t there somehwere an option that in this case EPP should NOT create a new group and should only rename the group and keep the configured permissions?

I can’t really believe that this is the way to do it.
