Looks like Microsoft is looking for Feedback on Nested Office 365 Groups, see this Ignite Session: https://youtu.be/mfox9-L5Xt0?list=WL&t=3815

Anyone knows whats the status of this feature?
Hierarquical groups is a very common use case from the typical organizational logics in companies.
- Maybe there will be some news at Ignite, though I'm unsure.
I understand the wish of nested group, I'm unconvinced of the possible implementation of if, without confusing at lot of users. Also there is the technical aspect.
The current approach where everyone in a group can glance the current members and know they all have access to these resources makes it very easy to understand.Hi Ivan54,
I just learned that this feature is available in Azure Portal (see picture below). However it is not working despite returning a success notification.
- I think this might be in reference to supporting the conversion of nested distribution groups to Office 365 Groups, not nested Office 365 Groups. Nested Office 365 Groups create all sorts of identity issues...
Might very well be.
Has this feature now appeared? By chance we notice we can now add 365 Groups to Distribution Lists.
Is this intentional, or an accident ? I have lots of use cases but wouldn;t want to start them before it's been announced.

- Nice!!
I get the need, I'm just think Microsoft will have to work very hard to implement easy usage and administration for this feature.
From their point of view they have to make this accessible and understandable to non IT-users.

Fair, we discussed it with lots of users at our booth at Ignite last week and they understood what we are trying to achieve which tackles one of their need.
