Office 365 Distribution Lists
I have one question here, in my organization when a normal user create the group from OWA, it automatically appears in All Distribution Lists from Directory. I'm sure whether it's a feature or bug. Is there anyway to restrict it not to appear in All Distribution Lists and only admin will create Distribution Lists?
I'm guessing you actually mean "Office 365 Groups", in which case the process to restrict creation is explained here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/admin/create-groups/manage-creation-of-groups?view=o365-worldwide
You can also just remove from the Address list in question or edit it's recipient filter to prevent them from showing by default. Another option is to hide them from any address lists, using PowerShell and the Set-UnifiedGroup cmdlet.
- Hi Phopyae,
It's a feature: see here how to prevent users creating distribution groups.

Best, ChrisHi Chris,
Thank you!
Actually I've already done that via remote powershell. Unfortunately the thing is still happening.
