Fix PIM for Groups Activation Missing in Azure Mobile App
Question details
Users are seeking a way to activate eligible Privileged Identity Management (PIM) group memberships using the Azure mobile application.
- Product
- Azure Mobile App
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Attempting to manage and activate PIM group memberships while on the go using the mobile application.
- Observed behavior
- The activation feature for PIM for Groups is missing or currently unachievable within the Azure mobile app interface.
Verify that your Azure mobile app is updated to the latest version and that you possess the necessary eligible permissions assigned in your Azure Active Directory.
Activate PIM for Groups via the Azure Web Portal
Since the feature is not currently available in the mobile app, using a web browser is the most reliable workaround to activate your PIM groups.
The Azure mobile app has limited functionality compared to the desktop web portal. For advanced administrative tasks like PIM for Groups, falling back to the standard web portal is highly recommended.
Open a mobile or desktop web browser and navigate to portal.azure.com. Sign in with your administrator credentials.
Use the top search bar to type 'Privileged Identity Management' and select the service from the dropdown results.
Click on 'My roles' or navigate to the 'Groups' section, locate your eligible group assignment, and click 'Activate'.
Consult the Azure Microsoft Q&A Community
Engage with Azure specialists to get the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding mobile app feature roadmaps.
