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).
Thanks Salvatore Biscari.
Do you by any chance have a link to a matrix or something about which things are mandatory on what manifestation and which things are only optional per manifestation?
With kind regards, Jaap
