How do you disable the creation of Office 365 Distribution Groups from End Users
We have end users createing Disctribution Groups and need to stop them from doing so. I looked in the Admin portal for something to turn this capability off but did not find anything. Anyone know how to turn this off?
- Are you talking about Distribution Groups or Office 365 Groups?
Actually, the users were trying to create their own personal distribution groups by going into "New Items" in the outlook client and selecting "Group". At closer look this created an Office 365 Group which shows up in the Global Driectory. They realized that that was not what they wanted to do so some have contacted me to remove them since they cannot remove the Office 365 group.
I want to stop this accidental creation of Office 365 groups.
I now have notice alot of Office 365 groups which I assume many of them were accidentally created as I wrote above. Now I don't know which are valid Office 365 groups and which ones were accidentally created. Ugh!
