Graph API permission issue to update Office 365 group settings via Application user(ClientId/Secret)
Hello Everyone, I'm facing an issue updating the allowExternalSenders setting for a Microsoft 365 Group. I've tried various methods, including granting permissions of App to Groups and Directories, adding an App role, in the App and even assigning my App to the Azure Global Admin Security role, but nothing seems to be working. Does anyone have any suggestions or solutions for this problem? below is the error. Failed to update group settings: {"error":{"code":"ErrorGroupsAccessDenied","message":"User does not have permissions to execute this action.Changes to the Office 365 Groups Tech Community on June 30, 2020
As we announced last month, to reflect the fact that Office 365 Groups power collaboration across Microsoft 365, Office 365 Groups will become Microsoft 365 Groups. These changes will happen over time and will be reflected in all the connected endpoints over the next couple quarters. To align the Tech Community with this name change, we are also creating a new Community Hub called Microsoft 365 Groups. This new Hub will replace the existing Office 365 Groups community. Folks who are existing members of the Office 365 Groups Community Hub will be automatically joined as members of the new Hub. In addition, content from the conversation spaces in the Office 365 Groups Community Hub will be migrated to the Microsoft 365 Groups Hub, and the Office 365 Groups Hub will be redirected to the new Microsoft 365 Groups Hub. By migrating membership and content to the new Community Hub, we are making this move seamless and transparent for you, although you will need to update your bookmarks/favorites, as the URL will be changing. We are making the transition on June 30, 2020, and we wanted to give everyone notice before doing so. The new Microsoft 365 Groups community will be your place to discuss best practices, news, and the latest topics related to Microsoft 365 Groups. It is intended as a place for sharing information and discussions. Thanks for your help keeping the Office 365 Groups community a vibrant and useful place, and we look forward to seeing you in the new Microsoft 365 Groups community in the future! --The Microsoft 365 Groups teamAnnouncing support for new Groups properties via Microsoft Graph
We are excited to announce that Microsoft 365 Groups now supports more flexible methods of hiding and showing groups in any Outlook client or the address book. Two new properties have been introduced to the Group Resource Type in Microsoft Graph: hideFromOutlookClients and hideFromAddressLists. Previously, these properties could only be changed via PowerShell. We now provide access to these properties via Microsoft Graph, which will help support additional customization through Power Automate and 3 rd party applications. Setting hideFromOutlookClients to True (which also sets hideFromAddressLists to True) prevents the group from showing in the Outlook left-hand navigation, prevents the group name from resolving during message creation, and prevents the group from showing in the Global Address List (GAL). If hideFromOutlookClients is set to False, hideFromAddressLists will also be set to False. Setting hideFromAddressLists by itself controls whether the group is hidden or shown in the GAL, but it won’t affect the Outlook left-hand navigation or name resolution during message creation. Changing hideFromAddressLists by itself does not change the value of hideFromOutlookClients. The default value for both properties is False, and they are only retrieved when using $select. The following example shows how to use the GET method to retrieve values for hideFromOutlookClients and hideFromAddressLists using Graph Explorer. Sample query: https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups/ed8083cb-8540-46f9-b817-46866469695d?$select=displayName,description,hideFromOutlookClients,hideFromAddressLists These values can be updated using methods like PATCH, as shown in the following example: In the response, hideFromOutlookClients is now set to false. Both properties are updated: Updating just hideFromAddressLists will not have any effect on hideFromOutlookClients. You can find detailed API documentation here. As always, we welcome your feedback!

We have Office365 Groups for all our Teachers. Groups example: Mathematichs, English, Phycics, and so on. Different users in every Group Every Group has also a Team created. Common for all Teams is that the management staff is member of all Teams. The management staff would like to send mail to group members (teachers) But as they are Team members also, the will also get mails. Can i somehow prevent the managememt staff from the mail group?Office 365 Groups (aka Microsoft 365 Groups) Recap from Microsoft Ignite 2019

Groups - to hide or not to hide.... that is the question!
I created a Group in Outlook. The email address appears in Outlook GAL and the group name appears in Outlook navigation under Groups. I created a group in Teams while creating the Team. The email address appears in Outlook GAL and the group name appears in Outlook navigation under Groups. It was my understanding that Groups created through the process of creating a Team would not appear in Outlook. Help me understand why it is appearing. If I run the PowerShell to hide the email address and group name in Outlook, then I am not able to see the group calendar that gets created because as we know, my Outlook calendar will display by default and to only view the group's calendar, I have to un-tick my calendar and tick the group's calendar. But, since the group is hidden, I don't have an option to make it visible in Outlook. It was my hope that only MEMBERS/OWNERS of a group could see the email address in Outlook GAL and group calendar, but I guess that isn't true? Either I am doing something wrong or there is a lack of vision in how this process should work. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
SharePoint Site deleted but Group still exists - prevents new site of same name
Hi, I recently created a SharePoint Team site and added some members I then confused myself and thought I didn't need it, so deleted it again. I quickly realised my mistake and wanted to recreate the site. Now I cannot recreate the site because SharePoint informs me "Another group with the same alias already exists.". So it seems like my step 2 resulted in deleting the site but not deleting the related group. I would like to either create a site, with associated group, with the same name as the initial one; or restore the initial site. I am not an admin. Is this possible? Thanks, T
