I upgraded a DL to a 365 Group. Can I create and link a SharePoint site?
As above, I upgraded one of our existing Distribution Lists to a Microsoft 365 group. Everything appears to have worked correctly, but there's no SharePoint site that would be created automatically when creating a group from scratch. Is there a way to create a new SharePoint site and link it to the existing group? I know I could make a classic site then link it to a New group, essentially I want to do that but link it to the newly created group.
'Sender Restrictions' for Office 365 Groups
In our company, as part of our move from Exchange on-prem to Exchange Online, we are considering replacing our current Exchange Distribution Lists with Dynamic Office 365 Groups. Many of these top-level Exchange Distribution Lists have Sender Restrictions imposed in order to limit who can send an email to the DL membership. For example, only certain users can send an email to a Distribution List that contains several thousand staff. We are unsure as to whether Dynamic Office 365 Groups can provide similar functionality. From what I have read, any members of a Dynamic Office 365 Group have the ability to send an email to the entire group membership. There does not appear to be any way to limit this ability. Is this correct ?
Dynamic Membership Added Users Receive "Access Denied" accessing SharePoint Site
Greetings everyone. Before I created this post, I did browse the internet and these forums for a possible solution. Of the items I found, they all stated permissions eventually propagated to the affected users. Here's the situation. I created several 365 groups for departments. I used dynamic membership to add users based on their department attribute. This was done back at the end of September. I'm receiving reports of users unable to access their department site. When I check either Azure AD, 365 Admin Center, or the 365 site, members show. Upon checking permissions on their SharePoint site, however; I find all users except Owners can access the site. Everyone else has None for permission level. We have done this setup for other departments, but this is the first one we've ever seen do this. All members exist in the group as I can use it for other permissions elsewhere in our tenancy. Has anyone seen something like this before? I'm wondering if turning the group back to Assigned from Dynamic, waiting an hour for all members to be removed, then setting it back to Dynamic with the rule. It seems strange that the permissions have not propagated after all this time.Group SP Site (Group image/logo Not Updating)
We have several groups we are working with, all have had a group image applied, but the Group Image doesnt seem to propogate to the connected SharePoint site (just get the colored background with two letters). Should the image populate automatically, or is this the expected behavior and SharePoint Site logos have to be manually set?
