weskus asked a question.
FNMS 23R2 (soon 25R2) integration to Azure AD
Is it possible to integrate FNMS to Azure AD (entraID) so, that FNMS could allocate or restrict licenses from AD query made from Reporting facility. Now I currently populate licenses from on-prem AD, but some consumption is Azure AD based. If possible, what I need to do --> beacon to Azure Graph Api integration ?

I don't consider your use case to be entirely clear to me, so apologies in advance if my response is misaligned...
FNMS doesn't have an OOTB integration with Entra ID (fka. Azure AD). However, you may be able to create a business adapter that uses LDAP to import the relevant data, but I also know from Microsoft documentation that Entra ID itself doesn’t expose LDAP; LDAP/LDAPS are available via Entra Domain Services (managed domain). Therefore this may or may not be an option depending on the implemented architecture... Maybe having somebody export the data may be simpler...
Chris attached a sample LDAP adapter to the Business Adapter Regular Expresssion community thread if you want to investigate this route further.
Maybe investigating whether Flexera One SaaS Management's Entra ID connector would contain the relevant data in its downloaded discovered apps may also be of interest, again depending on your use case(s).
Thanks,

Thanks John,
I will investigate more around this and come back to this later, if I found something useful.
Populating Named User/User licenses usage from AD query from Reporting facility in FNMS is a killer feature. Now, that there are hybrid allocations (over AD and Entra) on certain M365 licenses. So, AHU"B" is not servers and processors (SQL) but for named users are spread across hybrid infra ldaps as well.
I refer to this Feature:
