SharePoint Online Permissions/Office 365 Security Groups
Hi, I'm posting to try to get an idea of how other people are approaching the problem of assigning permissions in the Modern SharePoint Online world. Since we now aim to build sites composed ...
All our customers use security groups in Azure AD rather than Microsoft(Office) 365 groups. Never had a problem using AD security groups as you mention.
EDIT: Re-read your question, in Azure AD or Microsoft 365 Admin portal you can create a Microsoft 365 group or a security group, assume you are creating Microsoft 365 groups, if so, try Security group.
- As I understand it, Office 365 security groups (which we're using) and Azure AD security groups are the same thing under the hood.
What you talking about is the same thing, terminology Microsoft now use is Security Groups and Microsoft 365 Groups. Both of which can be created in the Microsoft 365 Admin portal or Azure AD Portal.
Do you have an on-premises AD that is synced to Azure AD? Where/how are you adding the users?
- No sync'd on premise AD. Users are added directly into either Office 365 Admin (groups) or Azure AD admin.
The weirdest thing is that for two users added into a group at the same time, one user will show up as having permissions on the desired SharePoint site (after a short delay), while the other one will not.
