Remember that time I was helping my cousin with his small office network? He had users not showing up in the right groups, and it locked them out of shared folders. I scratched my head for a bit, thinking maybe the sync between on-prem and cloud went haywire. Turned out, his admin account had some stale entries from an old migration. We poked around the portal, checked the logs for errors, and boom, it clicked.
But yeah, to sort this out for you, start by logging into the Azure portal with your global admin creds. Look at the user's profile and see if the group shows under their memberships. If not, check the group itself for any denied permissions or nested weirdness. Hmmm, or maybe run a quick PowerShell command to query the membership directly, like Get-AzureADUserMembership. That spits out what's really assigned. And if it's a sync issue, force a delta sync from your AD Connect server. Watch the event viewer there for clues on failures. Covers the basics, right? You might need to verify licenses too, since unlicensed users get quirky.
Or, if permissions are tangled from federation setups, tweak the trust settings carefully. I once fixed one by re-enrolling the device in question.
