The Bulk Activation tool has 3 options available:

• Available only with OAuth authorization type:
• Activate by Active Directory settings. This option can be used to find all accounts with a specified value of an Active Directory Property. Conditional activation can be activated with this option.
• Activate by MS365 Groups. This option can be used to automatically activate all accounts belonging to selected Groups. Conditional activation can be activated with this option.
• Available with OAuth authorization and credential based authorization types:
