Introduction
After an organization creates the user accounts for its Microsoft 365 tenant, it can then create groups for collaboration between users, both inside and outside the company.
- In Exchange Online, groups enable organizations to distribute email to multiple users.
- In SharePoint Online, groups support cross-team collaboration.
An organization can add people from outside the company to a group. It can do so as long as the Microsoft 365 administrator enables this permission.
In this module, you first learn about the various group types that are available in Microsoft 365. Based on that information, you learn how to create groups for distributing email to multiple users within Exchange Online. You also learn how to create groups to support collaboration in SharePoint Online. Finally, you learn how to create and manage groups using the Microsoft 365 admin center and Windows PowerShell.
