Last month at Microsoft Ignite in Orlando, we spent a week with customers hearing about their Office 365 Groups journey and answering their questions. Office 365 Groups is the membership service providing a single identity for teamwork across Office applications and services.

Discussions ranged from administration and governance to use cases and everything in between! We also demoed exciting new features to help you manage groups at scale. In case you missed it, here are the recordings and slides we shared:

Sounds awesome.
Quick question about Group driven membership: Does this mean we'll be able to add Azure AD security groups to O365 groups for membership?

Hi Vikram,
Using Azure AD security groups is one of the options we're evaluating. We know customers have created a variety of groups over the years which include security groups, distribution lists, and even other Office 365 Groups. Would you find using security groups particularly valuable and would you like to share any additional details? Thanks!
Mike

@Dbmstech Hi folks, a new Groups Admin role is still in the roadmap and work is underway. We should have the M365 Roadmap updated shortly. Great to see so much interest!
