Group Usage Report

This report lists every group in the selected tenant together with where it is actually used: Conditional Access policies, Intune assignments, Entra role assignments, enterprise application assignments, group-based licensing, Microsoft Teams, nested group membership and Exchange transport rules. Groups nothing references are marked as unused, which makes this the quickest way to find groups that can be cleaned up, and to check what would break before removing one.
