Office 365 Groups

[JonR]

When Microsoft added groups to the interface I disabled it for all users with powershell script. However, staff are now asking for permission to create their own groups. does anyone know how can I reverse the permissions just for certain users(Staff).

Thanks

The group settings are part of the Outlook Wep App Policy, which is under Exchange Admin --> Permissions --> Outlook Web App Policies.

 

Generally you will only have the one policy which is applied to everyone which is the OwaMailboxPolicy-Default

 

You will need to copy/duplicate this policy into a new policy called OwaMailboxPolicy-Staff (for instance). You will then need to modify this new policy to enable the group creation settings using this command:

 

 set-OwaMailboxPolicy -GroupCreationEnabled $true -Identity OwaMailboxPolicy-Staff

 

Then apply this new policy to your staff via powershell.

Users can create their own distribution groups which we use and found to be really useful for them. It under the people and when creating new contact it will ask to create a distribution contact or single contact.
