Related issue

I have created a relatable issue with the other app, after coming to the conclusion it's probably this app causing the bug I raised the issue here. See: https://github.com/stjosh/auto_groups/issues/42

The other app checks for UserLoggedInEvent or PostLoginEvents however this app apparently does not emit it.

Research direction

Start by tracing the SAML login flow and comparing it with the UserLoggedInEvent and PostLoginEvent expectations described in the issue. Reproduce the AzureAD SSO login with auto_groups enabled, then verify that the relevant event is emitted and that automatic group assignment occurs.
