Groups
The Groups Settings page controls which Entra ID groups Bsure tracks in detail. By default Bsure collects every named group in your tenant, but only the groups you add here have their members resolved and their cost allocated. Use it to map costs onto the groups that drive licensing, applications, or business-unit chargeback.
It is designed to answer simple but important questions:
Which Entra ID groups should we track in Bsure?
What does membership in each group cost the organisation per month?
Why are we tracking it — what report is it feeding?
Accessing Groups Settings
Navigate to Settings → Configuration in the left sidebar, then select Groups. You can also access it directly via the URL path /admin-settings/groups.
Page Layout
The Groups Settings page consists of the following elements:
Action Buttons
At the top-right corner of the page, you will find:
Collect Group Members – Click this to refresh group membership data across the groups in the table and refresh the Power BI Groups report. Use this after adding or removing groups.
Add Groups – Click to add a group from your Entra ID tenant to the list. A dialog opens where you search and pick the group, then enter cost and description.
Table Toolbar
Above the group list, a toolbar provides:
Row count – Total number of groups currently configured for tracking.
Reset Filters – Clears any active filters applied to the table columns.
Columns – Show or hide specific columns to customise your view.
Export – Exports the current group list for offline use or further analysis.
Group Table
The main content area shows a table listing the tracked groups with the following columns:
Group Name
The name of the Entra ID group. Includes a text filter for searching.
Monthly User Cost
The per-member monthly cost you have assigned to the group, used in cost allocation reporting.
Usage Description
A short description explaining why this group is tracked (e.g. Visma access, Secure-zone). Includes a text filter.
Each column header supports sorting. The Group Name and Usage Description columns also support text filtering.
Adding a group
Editing or removing a group
To edit or remove an existing entry, click the three-dot menu (⋮) at the right end of the row.
Refreshing Group Members and reports
Once you have added or changed groups, click Collect Group Members at the top-right of the page. Bsure refreshes membership data and updates the Power BI Groups report. The collection takes a few minutes; you can follow progress by clicking the bell icon next to your name in the top-right corner of the app.
Filtering, sorting, exporting
The group table provides several ways to find and organise your data:
Column sorting – Click any column header to sort. Click again to reverse the sort order.
Text filters – The Group Name and Usage Description columns have filter input fields below the header.
Reset Filters – Clears all active filters.
Column visibility – Use the Columns dropdown to show or hide specific columns.
Export – Download the current group list, with the active filters and sorting applied.
Summary
Use Groups Settings to tell Bsure which Entra ID groups to resolve members for, and to attach a per-member cost so cost-allocation reports work without spreadsheets. Add the groups you care about, set the cost, then collect members and refresh.
Next steps
Add the groups you want to track for membership or cost allocation.
Set a Monthly User Cost on each one if you do cost allocation.
Add a clear Usage Description so the group's purpose is obvious to the next admin.
Click Collect Group Members and verify the updated Groups report.
