Hello Anthony_Prieto,

We have experienced the same issue in our tenant. O365 Groups can't resolve the membership of the AD security group. We worked with our Microsoft rep and the recommendation was to move to Azure AD Dynamic Groups.

I hope this helps.

Thanks Norman Young

Seems a bit of pain to have to create that, don't you have to have a premium licence to use Azure AD Dynamic groups?

Anthony_Prieto agreed, it is a pain and as I understand things premium is required.

As an alternative, you could use PowerShell to keep the O365 Group in sync with the AD group. I've done in the past for Power BI Group management.

I hope this helps.

  Norman Young thanks, to be fair there's not a great amount of people in there, so its not hard to recreate a new group.
  
  We recently migrated a file server across to sharepoint online, so all the permissions are in, and luckily the group in question is a top level group so should inherit quite well!!
  
  Thanks again
