Manage ediscovery admin with a group in Azure AD

Question

Hi,

we are looking to assign our legal team to manage eDiscovery hold and search process. As we know that we can add members in Compliance permission section individually. Is there any way to attach this membership with a security group. Or what's the best way to handle the membership for eDiscovery Admins?
thanks

Hi @Audi86

Thank you for asking this question on the **Microsoft Q&A Platform. **

It is much better to manage those roles with security groups.

Can I add a group as a member of the eDiscovery Manager role group? As previously explained, you can add a mail-enabled security group as a member of the eDiscovery Managers subgroup in the eDiscovery Manager role group by using the Add-RoleGroupMember cmdlet in Security & Compliance PowerShell. For example, you can run the following command to add a mail-enabled security group to the eDiscovery Manager role group.

Add-RoleGroupMember "eDiscovery Manager" -Member <name of security group>

Hope this helps,
