Office 366 groups and AD groups
We're setting our our 0365 environment. Right now, we have an on premise AD server, which we installed AD Connect and are successfully synching with AAD and Office365. However, we're trying to manage our SharePoint sites and OneDrive permissions using local AD Groups. I've created a local AD security group and added a few members. It synchs to AAD successfully. However, when i go to create a new site in sharepoint, I cannot see the group, only individual users. I tried to then create an Office 365 group and add the local AD group to it, but that does't allow me to to add the local AD group, even though it shows up in AAD. Ideally, we want to be able to assign users permissions to SharePoint sites and OneDrive using local AD groups, how do we accomplish this? also, I read that if we do this, that we won't be able to share the sharepoint sites with external users, since the AD group will be managed at our local AD level. This is why we wanted to add the local AD group to the Office365 group so we can also allow external people access to the sites by adding them to the Office365 group. Basically, what is the correct way to do this? or best practice? Thanks for your help.1.2KViews0likes2CommentsSharepoint links not sending
Hello. We're using Microsoft 365 with SharePoint. We're use Exchange on-premise along with AD but we sync with Azure AD using AD Connect. I've created a few Microsoft 365 groups, which in-turn created a sharepoint site. lets say the site name is "TestSite" i added myself as the owner of the site. I then go to SharePoint, access the TestSite and create a folder. I try and share this folder using both the Share option and Direct Access and select the group that i created. I created three different groups, a distribution group and a security group from the Microsoft 365 admin portal AND i created a local domain group on my internal AD server, synched it to Azure AD and i was able to select these groups to share with. Regardless of which group i select, none of the users in the groups are receiving the email notification to let them know that the folder was shared with them. However, if I use any of the users email address (same users in the groups) and share it directly with just that single user, the user is receiving the email notification. Why isn't it finding the users in the groups and sending them an email? am I doing something wrong? does sharepoint not allow you to share with a group?1.4KViews0likes0Comments
