Summary Adds a tenant-scoped Entra Groups “Directory Cache” to enable DB-only group name resolution across the app (no render-time Graph calls), plus sync runs + observability. What’s included • Entra Groups cache • New entra_groups storage (tenant-scoped) for group metadata (no memberships). • Retention semantics: groups become stale / retained per spec (no hard delete on first miss). • Group Sync Runs • New “Group Sync Runs” UI (list + detail) with tenant isolation (403 on cross-tenant access). • Manual “Sync Groups” action: creates/reuses a run, dispatches job, DB notification with “View run” link. • Scheduled dispatcher command wired in console.php. • DB-only label resolution (US3) • Shared EntraGroupLabelResolver with safe fallback Unresolved (…last8) and UUID guarding. • Refactors to prefer cached names (no typeahead / no live Graph) in: • Tenant RBAC group selects • Policy version assignments widget • Restore results + restore wizard group mapping labels Safety / Guardrails • No render-time Graph calls: fail-hard guard test verifies UI paths don’t call GraphClientInterface during page render. • Tenant isolation & authorization: policies + scoped queries enforced (cross-tenant access returns 403, not 404). • Data minimization: only group metadata is cached (no membership/owners). Tests / Verification • Added/updated tests under tests/Feature/DirectoryGroups and tests/Unit/DirectoryGroups: • Start sync → run record + job dispatch + upserts • Retention purge semantics • Scheduled dispatch wiring • Render-time Graph guard • UI/resource access isolation • Ran: • ./vendor/bin/pint --dirty • ./vendor/bin/sail artisan test tests/Feature/DirectoryGroups • ./vendor/bin/sail artisan test tests/Unit/DirectoryGroups Notes / Follow-ups • UI polish remains (picker/lookup UX, consistent progress widget/toasts across modules, navigation grouping). • pr-gate checklist still has non-blocking open items (mostly UX/ops polish); requirements gate is green.

# Research: Entra Group Directory Cache (Groups v1)
|
|
|
|
## Decisions
|
|
|
|
### Decision: Full tenant scope sync (all groups)
|
|
- Rationale: Ensures browse/search is complete and name-resolution has the best chance of resolving IDs across modules.
|
|
- Alternatives considered:
|
|
- Only sync referenced groups (creates gaps, hard to debug, non-deterministic coverage).
|
|
|
|
### Decision: Start modes = manual + scheduled
|
|
- Rationale: Manual sync supports operator workflows (pre-restore/triage), while scheduled sync keeps cache fresh without relying on user action.
|
|
- Alternatives considered:
|
|
- Manual only (cache freshness depends on operator discipline).
|
|
- Scheduled only (harder to react quickly during ops).
|
|
|
|
### Decision: App-only (service principal) directory reads
|
|
- Rationale: Scheduled runs must not depend on an interactive user session; app-only is simpler to audit/lock down.
|
|
- Alternatives considered:
|
|
- Delegated tokens (breaks scheduled runs, unpredictable auth state).
|
|
|
|
### Decision: Cache metadata only (no membership/owners)
|
|
- Rationale: Solves the UX problem (name resolution + browse) with minimal data/PII exposure and lower API volume.
|
|
- Alternatives considered:
|
|
- Cache membership/owners (larger data surface, higher sensitivity, more Graph calls).
|
|
|
|
### Decision: Missing groups retention and purge
|
|
- Decision: Retain groups for 90 days after `last_seen_at`, then purge.
|
|
- Rationale: Preserves investigatory value and audit context while bounding DB growth.
|
|
- Alternatives considered:
|
|
- Immediate delete (breaks historical triage; creates sudden “unresolved” labels).
|
|
- Retain forever (unbounded growth).
|
|
|
|
### Decision: Graph access patterns (paging + retry)
|
|
- Decision: Use Graph list endpoint with paging; apply retry/backoff for 429/503; persist stable error categories in run record.
|
|
- Rationale: Full-tenant enumeration can be large; throttling is expected.
|
|
- Alternatives considered:
|
|
- Best-effort without retry (unreliable coverage).
|
|
- UI-time lookups (explicitly disallowed by spec).
|
|
|
|
## Open Questions (resolved for planning)
|
|
|
|
- Which specific Graph endpoint and permission names to use will be documented in the contract registry during implementation.
