Office 365 Groups
- Mar 28, 2018
The problem is Groups are not Exchange objects, they are AAD objects. While you can certainly govern some settings via the ExO cmdlets, AAD remains the source of authority, thus the portal requires you to have the necessary permissions to run the corresponding AAD cmdlets/API calls.
That said, if you are OK with using the EAC or PowerShell, you can certainly use an Exchange admin (or non-admin with the relevant permissions) to manage them. All you need is to have the Mail Recipients role assigned.
- Robert BollingerMar 27, 2018Iron ContributorRight. If i add the user administrator role it works as expected. I just need to know if there is a way to make it so a non-admin (who has all the exchange role group permissions) can edit Office 365 Group membership.
