Managing Microsoft Groups
Microsoft Groups is a cloud-based group management solution that is used to manage groups of users. These groups can be used for several purposes, including:
- Application licensing
- File server access
- Door/building access
- Access to online services
This page provides instructions for managing Microsoft Groups.
Prerequisites:
- Only someone added to a group as an Owner can manage a group or its users.
How to Add Members or Owners to a Group
Follow these instructions to Add members to a group you own:
- Log into https://myaccount.microsoft.com/groups
- Click on Groups I Own
- Select the name of your group.
- Click Members
- Click Add
- Look up each of the members you would like to add
- Choose whether the user should be a Member, an Owner or Both.
Important!
Group owners are not group members. Owners can manage group members, but only members receive the privileges associated with a group. Group owners can also be added as members if needed.
- Click Add at the bottom
To remove users from the group, click the checkbox next to their name on the appropriate tab and select Remove Members.
For more details, refer to Microsoft's documentation on managing group memberships.
Editing Microsoft Groups
While Microsoft Groups allows owners to update group details, please do not make these changes. Biola IT has established specific standards for group names and sharing policies, and any modifications you make may be automatically reverted.
If you would like to make edits to your group Name or Description, please submit a Report a Problem ticket.
