5.4 Managing Azure Contacts

Azure contacts are mail-enabled objects containing an external email address. As an assistant administrator, you can use DRA to manage Azure contacts and modify Azure contact properties when Azure Active Directory is configured by the DRA Administrator.

Execute a search operation to locate and select the required Azure contact object. After you select one or more objects in the list, the taskbar becomes active with options to delete objects, add objects to groups, remove objects from groups, and modify contact properties. You can also download search results as a CSV file. Click the options to display their functions.

Create an Azure contact

You can create an Azure contact in the managed tenant and specify contact information and email addresses for the new Azure contact.

Modify Azure contact properties

You can modify Azure contact properties. The powers you have determine which properties you can modify for an Azure contact in the managed tenant. If Exchange Policy is enabled, you can manage mail-related properties such as set delivery restrictions for messages, specify who can send messages on behalf of this Azure contact, specify whether the Azure contact is visible in the address list and so on.

Enable message moderation

You can set options for moderating messages sent to an Azure contact. When you enable moderation, messages sent to the Azure contact will be approved by a moderator that you define before the messages are delivered. You can also specify users and groups who are exempted from the approval process.

Manage group memberships for Azure contacts

You can add or remove Azure contacts to mail-enabled security groups and distribution lists.

NOTE:DRA enables you to export the Member Of results as a CSV file. Navigate to the Member Of tab and click the Download Saved Membership icon. The unsaved changes are not exported. Ensure you save any recent changes so they are available in the exported file.

Delete an Azure contact

You can delete Azure contacts from Azure Active Directory, but they cannot be restored from DRA.
