Office 365 group owner/created by

Is it possible to display the person who created/primary owner of an Office 365 group from the listing in Admin center instead of clicking each entry? 

 

 

It would be a nice feature so that it will be possible to sort/filter which items are owned by each Department/Team.

  • It's an easy task to perform via PowerShell, after all the Admin Center cannot account for all possible things. That said, there isn't a property that designates who created a Group, if you specifically want that information you will have to crawl the Audit logs. Otherwise, just look at the ManagedBy property for the current owner(s):

     

    Get-UnifiedGroup | select Name,ManagedBy

      Thanks VasilMichev, it is a start.

       

      It does make sense to have a separate property who Created and Managed by especially if Group creation is limited to admins. Also, a Primary contact would be nice. 

       

      Just recently viewed the available Interactive guide for 365 administration.

        you may want to submit a suggestion to UserVoice where it can be voted on and then added to the backlog
