Group Email Address and members

Question

Everytime I create a Microsoft 365 (Education) Group from the Admin Center it automatically generates a Group Email Address. At the moment, all the members of a Group receives email from that Group Email Address, but I need that just the owner(s) could receive them. How can I technically achieve it? Moreover, is it possible, for certain member(s) or owner(s) of a (existing) Group to reply using that Group Email Address? How? Thank you!

Did you create a Office/Microsoft 365 group? Did those group members receive an email like picture below?

It is an expected behavior for Office 365 group, if you don't want those group members receive this email, you could create a Distribution Group rather than Office 365 group:

If you want some mailboxes could use this group email address to send emails, you just need to add that mailbox to this group mailbox's Send As list:

There are no granular settings for that, it's an on/off switch for all members of the group. As to replying using the Group's address, add Send As permissions, either via PowerShell or the EAC: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/solutions/allow-members-to-send-as-or-send-on-behalf-of-group?view=o365-worldwide
