Hide Groups membership not working / available?
Hi all, It seems that the hide membership option we had for Office 365 Groups is not working / available: http://www.michev.info/Blog/Post/1314/you-can-now-hide-group-membership-for-modern-groups-in...
I asked the question and here's the situation.
If you want to hide the membership of a group, use PowerShell to create the group and specify the HiddenGroupMembershipEnabled switch as the New-UnifiedGroup cmdlet still supports it. However, because Set-UnifiedGroup does not (it will again in the future), you cannot change the hidden membership status again. That is, until Microsoft updates Set-UnifiedGroup...
We discussed this at Ignite and at that time we said that hidden group membership does work but it's imperfect - the group has to be private, etc. That's logical when you think of it because there's no point in having a public group with hidden members. I think a couple of other flaws were in the mix too that Microsoft was looking at fixing too.
- Thanks Tony, but what I have seen is that the parameter for hiding group members is not there anymore and neither in the documentation.
So it is... How strange! I shall ask.
- And at always, this issue appeared because a customer question...here you are the TechNet Article for Set-UnifiedGroup https://technet.microsoft.com/es-es/library/mt238274(v=exchg.160).aspx you will find that the paramenter (HiddenGroupMembershipEnabled) is not there
