How to manage O365 Group membership through AD Security Groups and/or nested O365 Groups?
I have two issues concerning management of membership in Groups: 1. In the Outlook Widget, I see that I can add another O365 Group as a member in an O365 Group. But what does it mean? It seems like ...
Technically there's nothing that can't be done, but MS nudges you to the next tier constantly.
- SharePoint (which is everything on the back end) will let you go so far as to add synced security groups without write-back.... but you need O365 Business Premium for that.
- Teams will let you import a security group into a teams security group, but no sync there, so you're managing two groups (but at least you have the import). You also need O365 Business Premium, so why not just stick with SharePoint unless you're using the Skype integration (TBR).
- Groups won't let you do squat other than add members. Have fun with that.
- Write-back? OMG... AAD P1 pricing is ridiculous.. at almost $8/user/month, you're looking at over $55k/yr on a 300 user compliment, just for full sync! Sick. So you're now being nudged to M365 E3 since you may as well be getting more out of it than just AD syncing. (All M365 offerings nudge to enterprise).
I used to complain about trims on new cars, or cable TV packages... but MS just took the cake.
