Allowing/disallowing users from connecting LinkedIn to their account

By default, users may be able to connect their LinkedIn accounts to their work or school account in your organization. This allows ease of access to LinkedIn data for their colleagues and provides a pre-built social network for your organization to utilize. You can manage whether this is a possibility via Azure AD. In this recipe, we'll disable the ability to connect to LinkedIn.
