Features
This web part was created to better understand the relationship between AAD users, AAD groups, SP User and SP Groups. In particular I was interested in how SP site user/group ids are mapped to the 4 principal types so that I might match a user against values entered in a SP People column which also accepted group values.
Experiment by granting permissions directly to some users for a site, directly to an AAD group for a site, and to a SP group where the membership consists of the AAD user or nested AAD groups.
Pick a user to retrieve information for by either searching for the user in the tenant-wide People Picker, or by choosing from the site's current set of users.
For the principals found that relate to a user links are provided to the relevant site user/group view.
Display user's membership of AAD and SP groups
When the web part is first loaded the current user is selected.
Details of the user's membership of SP and AAD groups are shown, along with corresponding SP site user/group ids (highlighted).
Select User
The user can be selected from the tenant-wide People Picker control.
Click the X to clear the currently selected user and then start typing the name of the next user. The People Picker will search across all tenant users as you type.
You can also select a user from the current set of site users.
Click on the /Select site user/ button and choose a user from the list displayed on the panel.
