Access to sharepoint site

Question

Hi All

i am using exchange 2016 hybrid environment, we create users in onprem and migrate to online.
i have a unified group and it has SharePoint site associated with it. i have a exchange online DL and i want to provide this DL access to this SharePoint site.
As per Microsoft limitation it is not possible. so in onprem AD i want to create an AD group and this AD group is synced to Azure AD.
will i be able to provide this AD group access to SharePoint site or i need to create mail enabled AD group in onprem?

Hi @Glenn Maxwell ，
According to my test results, you need to create a mail enabled security AD group（mail enabled DL AD group does not work）. Then users in the synchronized group can access to sharepoint site.
Because syncing Active Directory groups to azure ad can only be mail enabled groups.
