Hi all

ist there somethin new regarding using AD groups as members of Office 365 groups? It is really function which I can appreciate.  I was able to add security group to office grooup at azure portal - or to be more correct it looked like it worked (confirmation message informed me that group was successfully added) but unfortunatelly when I checked group membership, there was no change :(.

Thank you for info.

Michal

We haven't delivered anything, so nothing new. Office 365 Groups are not tied to security groups

        I wanted to add my voice to those requesting this feature.  Ideally we would have one group that is leveraged across these different contexts.  In particular our on-prem AD group that gets synced up as a Security Group.  I'd like to either "add" O365 Groups to that group (the way you can add Teams to an O365 Group in concept) or else be able to create an O365 Group and then add then add the security group to that.  I prefer the former, but the latter would work for me as well.
