Account - Group Management

The Microsoft Entra ID connector supports managing following group types as an entitlement and as separate group objects. These different types of groups are created for different purpose which are described as follows:

• Microsoft 365 groups (formerly Office 365 groups) are used for collaboration between internal and external users of the company.

• Distribution Lists (Distribution groups) are used for sending notifications to a group of people.

• Security groups are used for granting access to resources such as SharePoint sites.

• Mail-enabled security groups are used for granting access to resources such as SharePoint, and emailing notifications to those users.

The following table describes different conditions or configurations depending on which connector will aggregate different types of groups:
