How to hide the prefix

Hi All,
I have set up a group policy, when an end user creates a o365 group, the policy will add a prefix. Eg the group will show like grp-ssn-testgroupname
So when the user goes to the Teams, planner, ect they can see the name as shown above.
What I want to do is hide the prefix from end user and only the admin will see the prefix in Azure or O365 admin, and use to differentiate with other groups.
Can I do this.
Thanks.
  • That's not how the naming policy works, if you need a way for admins to differentiate groups simply populate some of the custom attributes or in general any property not exposed in the UI.

      You could arrange things so that the aliases assigned to groups follow the pattern you want administrators to see. Or use one of the 15 custom attributes to hold the information. For example:

      [PS] C:\> Set-UnifiedGroup -Id MyGroup -Alias Grp-SSN-MyGroup -CustomAttribute1 Grp-SSN-MyGroup
