Identify which user deleted an O365 group?

Copper Contributor

We recently had a group go AWOL, and though we were able to dig it up thanks to Restore-AzureADMSDeletedDirectoryObject, we are not able to identify how the group was deleted. Is there a way to pull relevant info from the site's settings (like a site collection's audit logs or similar)? I checked the version info for the pages/docs and nothing is listed at all.

AzureAD's audit logs should show who deleted a group.

Answered my own question after poking around this morning. Use the Audit Log Search from the "Security & Compliance" section of the admin console.
Didn't see this reply. Thanks Steven!

Owners can delete their own group, or anyone with admin rights over your AzureAD.

 

In about 2 years of using Groups this has happened to us twice, simple to restore and then remove that user from having ownership.
