Considerations on Setting up office365 groups
If you mean creating a Group and "ticking" features for it (conversations, Teams, Planner etc.), no.
This kind of functionality has been requested many times here, but it is neither available nor promised.
- Salvatore is correct as always....You cannot think Group only as an Object in Azure AD...Groups is a cross service that user core O365 Services (EXO, SPO and Azure AD)
So there is more to it than an entry in AAD. And more services are needed when creating an Office365 group. But once created, do in need to enhance it with every new manifestation of this phenomenon.
What is the rationale in it, to have so many manifestations of the same infrastructural object.
To summarize:
An Office 365 Group is an AAD object which could be "decorated" by a number of features, some of which are mandatory (meaning that they are always created when a Group is created - e.g. SPO modern team site) and others are optional (meaning that they are created only when explicitly requested - e.g. Teams). But, in any case, when one of the optional Group feature is activated, a Group is consequently created (together with its mandatory features).
