    Hey Andy, I've recently took on the role as IT administrator in my company after finishing 2 years in school. It was a big leap and alot of responebility. But your videos has really helped me alot to get better in the O365 platform and azure. Really appriciate all your content, since im working alone as IT admin and support with over 100 employees, your youtube channel has become my best mentor !

    What if I want to use dynamic groups and still be able to invite guests in my Teams channels?

    • @AndyMaloneMVP
      @AndyMaloneMVP  2 года назад

      The only way to do, this would be to add attributes to the guest account that you have already created in Azure AD. For example, the guest could be a member of the marketing group. As long as the dynamic group/team contains a rule for the marketing group, then guests would be joined. You cannot, however, add a guest manually. I hope this helps and thanks again 😊

      I’m sure that one of my SharePoint videos cover this, I’ll take a look. The only issue for me is I’m personally completely in cloud and have nothing to migrate. However, the migration tools in the SharePoint admin centre are super simple to work. Alternatively you may want to look at the third-party tools like sharegate. Although expensive, it’s worth it.

    Great video!
    Can you add “invited guests” to be members of these groups? We have roughly 100 independent sales reps that need access to share point libraries. Currently I assign an F3 license to every independent rep. I would like to make all the reps guests so they can use their own MS account and access our resources. Using a group is easier to manage than using a MESG…
    Thoughts?

    Thanks for the info. Question: I created a group in order to add its calendar in to a SharePoint group Calendar web part but it does not show up on the dropdown list. What is the difference between this private group that does not show up and the other (seemingly identically setup) groups that do appear in the dropdown?

    • @AndyMaloneMVP
      @AndyMaloneMVP  3 месяца назад

      There are definitely limitations on what can and cannot be seen when you interact with parts and SharePoint and other products. I would edit permissions using the classic permissions portal that you can find in the other settings page in the SharePoint admin Centre. I’d also check out the documentation and learn.microsoft.com. Definitely sounds like a permission issue.

All looks the same on the surface, but the former plays nicely with SP sites & web parts, while the latter does not. I appreciate your quick reply. Definitely worth a follow😁

    @riettefourie8928 Год назад

    Thank you for this. 1. As an end-user in my organisation, I do not have access to the MS Admin Centre. My problem is, that when officials create Outlook Groups, there is no option to add a Team to the Group. Then those officials go and create a Team as well, adding the Group as a member. Then you sit with two different TeamSites. One for the Group and one for the Team. How do I solve this? Very confusing. We have a default expiry date for both Groups and Teams. 2. Stupid question: should the Team or Group be deleted by the owner, do the SharePoint TeamSites automatically also get deleted?

    • @AndyMaloneMVP
      @AndyMaloneMVP  Год назад +1

      There’s no such thing as a stupid question. But you are quite correct. If you are not an administrator, then you will not be able to create teams in Microsoft outlook. Likewise, you will not be able to create groups in Microsoft teams but I can assure you that they are connected to each other. if this is a big concern to you, you could always ask your administrator to make you a member of either groups admin or a teams admin, or perhaps even both as this would solve your problem. These are primarily security features that have been built into the products. I’m sorry for your dilemma and I wish you luck in the future.

But now I must train others to maintain those sites, and how to use MS365 in general... cause Im retiring in about 2 years.

      @@AndyMaloneMVP Thanks for the reply Andy! The problem with Exchange Dyn Groups is users can't expand them to see the actual members so they don't like them. Therefore, don't use them. So I've always created normal distros and then used a tool like AD Manager Plus by Manage Engine to automate the memberships. You would think something so basic should be available within Entra. Let me just add users to a distro group as members in Entra (so I don't need ADMP or some other tool) with the dynamic rule syntax or somewhere and that'd be great. User onboards, matches criteria, let an automation run on a schedule to drop them in a group. User leaves department, matches criteria, let an automation run on a schedule to remove them and add to another group.

    • @AndyMaloneMVP
      @AndyMaloneMVP  Год назад +1

      Hi Steve, thanks for the question. Generally when you create groups in Outlook they do not create teams. Essentially a team is the extension of a Microsoft 365 group which allows additional collaboration features to be implemented, including teams, chat, and third-party apps. Administrators can create Microsoft 365 groups in the admin portal, and then have the choice whether to extend them to become a Microsoft team or not. users can also create teams, which intern create a Microsoft 365 group. Only if they have the appropriate permissions to do so. I hope this helps and my best advice is visit learn.microsoft.com as this contains a wealth of information. Consider taking the online course for MS 900. This is a great start and will provide you everything you need to get up and running. Thanks again and all the best, Andy.
