Microsoft Email Groups and Managing Membership

Microsoft 365 Groups are used to facilitate collaboration and teamwork by providing an email address within an organization. These groups offer a central hub for communication and file sharing. 

Accessing Groups

From within the Outlook web interface --> (More apps) Waffle icon on left sidebar below email and calendar --> Groups --> Right-Click on Groups --> Pin

You will see a list of groups you either own or are a member of along with a count of unread messages. Click on the group you wish to manage or view. The view defaults to email, but you will see tabs for Files, Events, and Members. To manage members, click on the members tab to add/remove members.

Group Membership and Microsoft Teams

As a best practice for managing team members, add and remove them from Teams to ensure that permissions updates for other group-connected workloads occur quickly. 

If you remove a member of an MS Team, they are removed from the Microsoft 365 group as well. Removal from the group immediately removes the team and channels from the Teams client.
