How to manage O365 Group membership through AD Security Groups and/or nested O365 Groups?
this is something we are investigating and hence do not have any further details nor timeline to share at this stage, FYI Mike McLean (OFFICE)
I would like to add my voice to the mix. We need the ability to add an active directory domain security group as a member of an Office 365 group. When we onboard new employees we copy the AD account of an existing user in the same role so the new employee automatically gets added to the same groups as his coworkers in that role. We can't easily identify and add the new employee to all of the Office 365 groups that he may need to be a member of. I would be fine with doing this using PowerShell (add the object ID of the security group to the Office 365 group or some such) if that's what would be needed. By the way, we are a gold partner so if this is being discussed in a forum or in preview under NDA sign me up.

Hey all... we've just added a solution in our product that allows you to associate an O365 Group with one or more AD Security groups and have membership synced daily. PM me if you want more info on the apporach we used as I don't want to market all over this thread.

APIs are available to read AAD security group memberships, as well as write/modify O365 Group memberships--- you can build your own hooks between and keep select groups synced with a periodic sync. We've done something similar but productized it.
