How can regular users add members to a security group if they are the owner
- This is all about Azure AD functionality, the owners can go to https:\\myapps.microsoft.com to manage their groups.
You may also want to take a close look at Azure AD Entitlement Management, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/governance/entitlement-management-overview and Access reviews https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/governance/perform-access-review and Group Self Service management https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/users-groups-roles/groups-self-service-management

Thank you Dean_Gross, the Myapps route works very well, except I need the functionality for mail-enabled security groups, and that does not work
! They show up as groups without an owner (even though I and another person are owners), and are generally not possible to change. They are listed as "Exchange managed" or similar ("Exchange-hanterad" in Swedish).Any other solution for mail-enabled security groups?
- Sorry, but Self-service group management features are not available for mail-enabled security groups or distribution lists., see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/enterprise-users/groups-self-service-management
Dean_Grosscan you expand upon where to go after https://myapps.microsoft.com.
Andrew_H205 I found my way to this thread when I had the same question.
Since it was never answered, from within My Apps, you can hit a drop drown next to "My Apps" in the top left and select "My Groups"
From there it's pretty straight forward to find the groups you (as a user) are an owner to then make additions and removals.
There might be a more direct way to reach this page but this is good enough.
And as others have mentioned maybe making a mail enabled or M365 group for the same purpose as the security group might be a better experience for the end user (Owner) as they don't have to leave outlook.
Excellent thank you!
I completely missed that option until I read your post.
You can also just navigate to https://myaccount.microsoft.com/groups
instead of going to the apps page and then navigating to the Groups page.
Dean_Gross what do I look for in myapps.microsoft.com to edit a security group if I am the owner? Do I search for the group name?
Dean_Grosshope all is well your way. Which way is best if you want a SG member to be able to add other members. If I make the user an owner, then they can add other owners. Even if just for that one SG but still would like to configure the simplest way to allow a SG member to add other member but not other owners. Thanks!
Dean_Gross Perfect! Thanks.
