Send as delegates for M365 Group members
I have been researching (google) for about a week now to find an answer to this and am surprised by the lack of discussion or articles about this topic. What we are trying to do with several M365 gr...
M365 Groups are not security principals, so you cannot use them to delegate permissions in this scenario. You will have to grant permissions to each of the members, individually.
Thanks, I would have thought that by adding the group the delegation would distribute to the members who are security principals; but it is not able to do that kind of distributed delegation
Having no way to automatically give send as delegation seems strange to me. I would have thought this would be a common ask but am finding very little discussion on the topic.

- You can do that, but with a group that is a valid security principal. Such as mail-enabled security groups. For M365 groups, this is still work in progress.
- It does seem the only option that will work is a mail-enabled security group. But that sort of defeats the purpose of trying to make the members of the group send as delegates by default. I would have to add them manually to the 2nd mail enabled security group. Which means that when the owners of the group add members they still cannot update the send as permission on their own.
And you can't do embedded group membership either; I don't think. So I can't create a mail-enabled security group and then add the 1st M365 group as a member of the 2nd mail enabled security group.
I will think on this more.
