Another request may be that users need to be able to create request-based security or Office 365 groups, for instance for projects or distribution groups.

Self-Service Group Management options

An Office 365 group includes a distribution list but also consists of these shared tools:

  • Inbox for group email communication
  • Calendar for scheduling group meetings and events
  • Library for storing and working on group files and folders
  • OneNote notebook for taking project and meeting notes
  • Planning tool for organizing and assigning tasks and getting updates on project progress
  • Guest access (set up by the administrator)

Practical note: Use a different browser or the Private Browsing option for handling the different user sessions: one session on https://portal.azure.com as admin@domain.onmicrosoft.com (Admin) and another session as the explicit user (User) under https://myapps.microsoft.com.
