  Auto-sync groups and members from Azure Entra ID to LiteLLM
</p>

This release adds support for auto-syncing groups and members on Microsoft Entra ID with LiteLLM. This means that LiteLLM proxy administrators can spend less time managing teams and members and LiteLLM handles the following: 

- Auto-create teams that exist on Microsoft Entra ID 
- Sync team members on Microsoft Entra ID with LiteLLM teams
