Before you start
- You need Cloud read access (the Cloud resource with Read access in the role editor). It covers both Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace groups.
- Company users see only the groups their MSP has left visible to clients. MSP staff see every group, including hidden ones.
- Opening a group does not make you a member and does not give you access to anything the group controls.

What each column shows
Read the member dialog
- Type says whether the member is a user, a group, or another kind of entry.
- Microsoft members show Not available for Role and Status. Google members show the role and status Google reports.
- A nested group appears as one member row. The dialog does not list the people inside it.
- The count in the dialog heading comes from the group record. The page controls count the synced member rows. The two can differ.
