Site Design
7 TopicsWhere to create an Office 365 group?
Right now there are LOTS of places you can create a new 365 Group from. Just to name a few I know of: Azure AD - Directly create a group SharePoint Team Site - Creates a group along with the site Microsoft Teams - Creates a group along with the team (can also make team from existing group) There are quite a few more ways that groups can get instanced, but the real issue here is the lack of symmetry. When a group is created, it gets a SharePoint Team Site regardless of where you make it, but if you make the group as a part of the process of making a new team site you can also select a site design to apply to that site. I have read that site designs can be applied to existing modern sites, but have yet to find out how to do that. If you create a group in Teams, a team is added and linked to the group, but if you create a group anywhere else no team is added! I am trying to build a system where a new Office 365 Group for a new project is created, a specific SharePoint site design/template is provisioned, and a Team is provisioned. Some other configurations are done using the site design script -> launch a flow feature. Can anyone help me understand where the "proper" place to first create a group is? Especially so that there are no lingering loose connections between services? This all seems like a bit of a mess right now.4.6KViews2likes11Comments
