New Feature: Office 365 Groups Naming Policy is Generally Available
The licensing around this feature makes it useless:
Licensing requirements
To use the Groups naming policy feature, the following people need an Azure Active Directory Premium P1 license or Azure AD Basic EDU license:
- Everyone who is a member of the group.
- The person who creates the group.
- The admin who creates the Groups naming policy
How can I use this feature and not spend the money for a premium license for everyone in my organization?
Deleted You can easily achieve this goal by implementing a governance strategy and use this governance to apply Groups Naming convention inside your organization.
I would suggest you to look at Microsoft Flow + PowerApps & of course the magic Microsoft Graph API :)ArunV1 You folks sure did take your time with this one... :) Here's a question I've been asking for years now, will we ever see any sort of UI for the naming policy configuration? Or in general for the whole set of AAD settings, not just he ones related to Groups? Not everyone is comfortable using PowerShell, not to mention the unnecessary complicated format utilized by the *-AzureADDirectorySetting cmdlets.
And it's a **bleep** shame we can use the exact same feature for free with "traditional" groups. And we even have an UI for it in the ECP. For free.
Deleted for some of the creation points (SharePoint), you can enforce custom forms and implement the naming logic there. For others it will not be possible, but you can always use PowerShell or the Graph to enforce a similar policy post-creation.
