Within our organisation, we have a convention whereby all Entra security group names follow the format
Team_[Name_With_Underscores]
.
While this convention works fine within Entra, when it's exposed in Port (e.g. via SSO & group claims), it can lead to some minor UI issues:
  • Team "avatars" all start with 'T' - the chances of multiple teams having the same abbreviation is much higher (see attached)
  • Team names aren't user friendly - particularly to non-technical individuals
The suggestion here is to allow Port admins (or team blueprint moderators) to rename the entities - i.e. change the
$title
value, while still maintaining the connection to the underlying SSO group.
