Office 365 Address lists / Distribution groups

[richbrowncardiff]

Hi all, Sorry I'm ure this has probably been discussed before....

 

We are going live in a weeks time and all accounts are now provisioned staff are identified with (Staff) in the displayname and students are distinguished with (student) tutorgroup in their displayname. All users are in cloud (havn't bothered with AD sync as all users wanted to keep their original email username / address which differ from AD. can you tell me if I can hide students from searching for staff (all objects containing (staff) and also the quickest way to add all staff to a group and all student to a group based on their description?

 

Many thanks in advance.
