How to backup and restore a flow with another flow Monday, August 29, 2022 5:00 AM Toni Pohl Did you know that you can backup and restore a flow (or multiple flows) with another flow in Power Automate?

Identify guest users and their status with Graph Wednesday, January 5, 2022 7:00 PM Martina Grom Working with Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365, Azure Active Directory as an identity and management system becomes more and more important. Like Active Directory, Azure AD grows throughout time with guest accounts, cloud accounts and synchronized accounts. From a governance and lifecycle point of view - and also for security reasons - it is therefore important to clean up Azure AD from time to time. The cleanup process supports a healthy lifecycle management. In this article we describe how to quickly identify guest users in your own Azure AD with on-board resources.
