+  name = "MyTestGroup"
+}
+```
+
+## Argument Reference
+
+The following arguments are supported:
+
+* `name` - (Required) The Name of the Azure AD Group we want to lookup.
+
+~> **WARNING:** `name` is not unique within Azure Active Directory. The data source will only return the first Group found.

+# azuread_group
+
+Manages a Group within Azure Active Directory.
+
+-> **NOTE:** If you're authenticating using a Service Principal then it must have permissions to `Read and write all groups` within the `Windows Azure Active Directory` API.
+
+-> **NOTE:** Additionally, due to a limitation within the API, you have to assign **one** of the following Azure Active Directory Roles to the Service Principal to be able to delete Groups:
+
+* User Account Administrator
+* Company Administrator
+
+You can assign one of the required Azure Active Directory Roles with the **AzureAD PowerShell Module**, which is available for Windows PowerShell or in the Azure Cloud Shell. Please refer to [this documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/azuread/add-azureaddirectoryrolemember) for more details.
+
+## Example Usage
+
+```hcl
+resource "azuread_group" "my_group" {
+  name = "MyGroup"
+}
+```
+
+## Argument Reference
+
+The following arguments are supported:
+
+* `name` - (Required) The display name for the Group.
+
+-> **NOTE:** Group names are not unique within Azure Active Directory.
+
+## Attributes Reference
+
+The following attributes are exported:
+
+* `id` - The Object ID of the Group.
+
+* `name` - The Display Name of the Group.
+
+## Import
+
+Azure Active Directory Groups can be imported using the `object id`, e.g.
+
+```shell
+terraform import azuread_group.my_group 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
+```
