Use a synchronized group to manage role assignments in Azure Active Directory

Question

Hi guys, is there a way I can assign a synchronized group (not a cloud created group) to an Azure AD role?

I have a group that I have synced from from on prem AD called "Billing_Admins" and I want to add that group to the Billing Administrator role in Azure AD. But when I open the role, click Add Assignments I cannot find the group.

The below page explains how to do this using groups created in Azure, but how do you do this with an on prem synced group?

@alpha76 Assigning groups to Azure AD roles is currently available for Azure AD Groups and built-in roles as mentioned in the limitations section of the documentation. It will be extended to on-premises groups as well as Azure AD Custom roles. Please refer to this blog.
