Manage who can create Microsoft 365 Groups

By default, all users can create Microsoft 365 groups. This is the recommended approach because it allows users to start collaborating without requiring assistance from IT.

If your business requires that you restrict who can create groups, you can restrict Microsoft 365 Group creation to the members of a particular Microsoft 365 group or security group.

If you’re concerned about users creating teams or groups that don’t comply with your business standards, consider requiring users to complete a training course and then adding them to the group of allowed users.

When you limit who can create a group, it affects all services that rely on groups for access, including:

• Outlook
• SharePoint
• Yammer
• Microsoft Teams
• Microsoft Stream
• Planner
• Power BI (classic)
• Project for the web / Roadmap

The steps in this article won’t prevent members of certain roles from creating Groups. Office 365 Global admins can create Groups via the Microsoft 365 admin center, Planner, Exchange, and SharePoint Online. Other roles can create Groups via limited means, listed below.

• Exchange Administrator: Exchange Admin center, Azure AD
• Partner Tier 1 Support: Microsoft 365 Admin center, Exchange Admin center, Azure AD
• Partner Tier 2 Support: Microsoft 365 Admin center, Exchange Admin center, Azure AD
• Directory Writers: Azure AD
• SharePoint Administrator: SharePoint Admin center, Azure AD
• Teams Service Administrator: Teams Admin center, Azure AD
• User Administrator: Microsoft 365 Admin center, Azure AD

If you’re a member of one of these roles, you can create Microsoft 365 Groups for restricted users, and then assign the user as the owner of the group.

Licensing requirements

To manage who creates groups, the following people need Azure AD Premium licenses or Azure AD Basic EDU licenses assigned to them:

• The admin who configures these group creation settings
• The members of the group who are allowed to create groups

See Assign or remove licenses in the Azure Active Directory portal for more details about how to assign Azure licenses.

The following people don’t need Azure AD Premium or Azure AD Basic EDU licenses assigned to them:

• People who are members of Microsoft 365 groups and who don’t have the ability to create other groups.

Step 1: Create a group for users who need to create Microsoft 365 groups

Only one group in your organization can be used to control who is able to create Groups. But, you can nest other groups as members of this group.

Admins in the roles listed above do not need to be members of this group: they retain their ability to create groups.

In the admin center, go to the Groups page.

Click on Add a Group.

Choose the group type you want. Remember the name of the group! You’ll need it later.

Finish setting up the group, adding people or other groups who you want to be able to create groups in your org.

Step 2: Run PowerShell commands

You must use the preview version of Azure Active Directory PowerShell for Graph (AzureAD) (module name AzureADPreview) to change the group-level guest access setting:

If you haven’t installed any version of the Azure AD PowerShell module before, see Installing the Azure AD Module and follow the instructions to install the public preview release.

If you have the 2.0 general availability version of the Azure AD PowerShell module (AzureAD) installed, you must uninstall it by running Uninstall-Module AzureAD in your PowerShell session, and then install the preview version by running Install-Module AzureADPreview .

If you have already installed the preview version, run Install-Module AzureADPreview to make sure it’s the latest version of this module.

Copy the script below into a text editor, such as Notepad, or the Windows PowerShell ISE.

Replace with the name of the group that you created. For example:

$GroupName = «Group Creators»

Save the file as GroupCreators.ps1.

In the PowerShell window, navigate to the location where you saved the file (type «CD «).

Run the script by typing:

The last line of the script will display the updated settings:

If in the future you want to change which group is used, you can rerun the script with the name of the new group.

If you want to turn off the group creation restriction and again allow all users to create groups, set $GroupName to «» and $AllowGroupCreation to «True» and rerun the script.

Step 3: Verify that it works

Changes can take thirty minutes or more to take effect. You can verify the new settings by doing the following:

Sign in to Microsoft 365 with a user account of someone who should NOT have the ability to create groups. That is, they are not a member of the group you created or an administrator.

Select the Planner tile.

In Planner, select New Plan in the left navigation to create a plan.

You should get a message that plan and group creation is disabled.

Try the same procedure again with a member of the group.

If members of the group aren’t able to create groups, check that they aren’t being blocked through their OWA mailbox policy.

Park and Fly

Parking Management Software

Parking at Schiphol Airport has never been this simple. We all know how much there is to organise before a holiday or business trip: the flights, the paperwork, the luggage. And it doesn’t end when you arrive at Schiphol. You still have to find a parking spot, board the shuttle bus — often with heavy luggage — and then find your way on foot to the correct departure lounge. A time-consuming and exhausting affair. But there is a simpler way: with Park and Fly!

Greifswald University

Groupware

In Greifswald we personally guided the IT department for two days. We helped them configuring Group-Office on an active-active cluster. The cluster consists of servers. Each server is equiped with 2 quad core processors and 24 GB of ram. The servers both run Apache, MySQL and an OSCFS2 clustered filesystem. This Group-Office installation hosts over 20.000 users. They maintain all their users in an LDAP directory so we configured Group-Office to use their LDAP directory for user authentication.

Secure Email Sync

The Rijksrecherche in the Netherlands uses Group-Office in the Hague with about 100 users. We developed PGP e-mail encryption for them and the SyncML plugin for synchronizing their mobiles.

Create a group in Outlook

Stay connected and on schedule

You can be organized, on time, and buttoned up with Outlook — your life organizer.

A Microsoft 365 group is different from a contact group (formerly called a distribution list). A contact group is a set of email addresses that you can use to send an email message or meeting invitation to everyone at once. To create a contact group, see Create a contact group.

Watch a short video about creating a group to be used as a company email address.

Open Outlook for Windows.

Select Home > New Group.

Don’t see New Group in your ribbon? Your IT department might not have enabled Groups for your organization. Contact them for assistance.

Fill out the group information.

Group name: Create a name that captures the spirit of the group.

Once you enter a name, a suggested email address is provided. «Not available» means the group name is already in use and you should try a different name. Note that once you choose a group name, it cannot be changed.

Description: Optionally, enter a description that will help others understand the group’s purpose. This description will be included in the welcome email when others join the group.

Classification: Choose a classification. Options available depend on what your organization has set up.

Privacy: By default, Groups are created as Private. This means only approved members in your organization can see what’s inside the group. Anyone else in your organization who is not approved cannot see what’s in the group.

Select Public to create a group where anyone within your organization can view its content and become a member.

Select Private to create a group where membership requires approval and only members can view group content.

Send all group conversations and events to members’ inboxes Optionally, check this box to enable members to see all group conversations and events in their inbox without having to visit separate group workspaces. Members can change this setting for their own mailboxes.

Note: This feature is available to Office Insider participants with Microsoft 365 subscription. If you are a Microsoft 365 subscriber, make sure you have the latest version of Office.

Create a PLC group in Outlook (Office 365 Education)

A Professional Learning Community (PLC) group is a type of Microsoft 365 Group that provides a shared space for educators to use for collaboration. PLCs are available in the Microsoft 365 Education plans.

A PLC is very similar to other Microsoft 365 groups. It comes with a shared mailbox and calendar, shared document library, and OneNote Notebook. The notebook is designed for educators and includes templates and lots of resources that provide ideas and assistance.

Creation of PLC groups is not supported in the new Outlook on the web. Creating PLC groups is now only available on Teams

If you want to create a PLC group, you can still do it in Teams or by switching to the classic version of Outlook on the web while it’s available.

Existing PLC groups are not affected, can be accessed from Outlook on the web as usual, and used as you have always done. This change only affects new PLC groups. To learn more on how to create PLC groups in Teams, see Create team for PLCs in Microsoft Teams
