How users can request to join Microsoft 365 Group in AAD

Question

We have created Microsoft 365 group and instead of me being owner, adding every team member - we want users to raise request to get added to the group.

Found below option which shows that there should be such option. How can user raise request and from which section (Some Access panel), I can grant it?

I found one way but not that good - Create new draft email add xxx@abdou .mycompany.com, hover over to it and request to join

Answer 1

They can use the MyGroups portal: https://account.activedirectory.windowsazure.com/r#/groups
Therein, any user can see a list of groups they're a member of, as well as groups they own. Pressing the Join group button allows them to browse a list of groups within the tenant and request to be added.

Answer 2

An easier solution would be to instruct the users to join via their Outlook client.

Just right click the groups element in Outlook and select "Browse groups". There they can join the group (public) or request to join the group (private).

Sorry, my client is in German language. :-)
