Set-UnifiedGroup
This cmdlet is available only in the cloud-based service.
Use the Set-UnifiedGroup cmdlet to modify Microsoft 365 Groups in your cloud-based organization. To modify members, owners, and subscribers of Microsoft 365 Groups, use the Add-UnifiedGroupLinks and Remove-UnifiedGroupLinks cmdlets.
Important: You can't use this cmdlet to remove all Microsoft Online Email Routing Address (MOERA) addresses from the Microsoft 365 Group. There must be at least one MOERA address attached to a group. To learn more about MOERA addresses, see How the proxyAddresses attribute is populated in Microsoft Entra ID.

[<CommonParameters>] Description
Microsoft 365 Groups are group objects that are available across Microsoft 365 services.
Note
You can't change the HiddenGroupMembershipEnabled setting on an existing Microsoft 365 Group. The setting is available only during new group creation.
You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although this topic lists all parameters for the cmdlet, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To find the permissions required to run any cmdlet or parameter in your organization, see Find the permissions required to run any Exchange cmdlet.
Examples
Example 1
Set-UnifiedGroup -Identity "Marketing Department" -PrimarySmtpAddress marketing@contoso.com -RequireSenderAuthenticationEnabled $falseThis example makes the following changes to the Microsoft 365 Group named Marketing Department:
- The primary email address is changed to marketing@contoso.com.
- The Microsoft 365 Group is allowed to receive mail from unauthenticated (external) senders.
Example 2
Set-UnifiedGroup -Identity "Legal Department" -AccessType PrivateThis example changes the Microsoft 365 Group named Legal Department from a public group to a private group.
Parameters
-AcceptMessagesOnlyFromSendersOrMembers
The AcceptMessagesOnlyFromSendersOrMembers parameter specifies who is allowed to send messages to this recipient. Messages from other senders are rejected.
Valid values for this parameter are individual senders and groups in your organization. Individual senders are mailboxes, mail users, and mail contacts. Groups are distribution groups, mail-enabled security groups, and dynamic distribution groups. Specifying a group means all members of the group are allowed to send messages to this recipient.
To specify senders for this parameter, you can use any value that uniquely identifies the sender. For example:
- Name
- Alias
- Distinguished name (DN)
- Canonical DN
- Email address
- GUID
You can enter multiple senders separated by commas. To overwrite any existing entries, use the following syntax: Sender1,Sender2,...SenderN. If the values contain spaces or otherwise require quotation marks, use the following syntax: "Sender1","Sender2",..."SenderN".
By default, this parameter is blank ($null), which allows this recipient to accept messages from all senders.
| Type: | MultiValuedProperty |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
| Applies to: | Exchange Online, Exchange Online Protection |
-AccessType
The AccessType parameter specifies the privacy type for the Microsoft 365 Group. Valid values are:
- Public: The group content and conversations are available to everyone, and anyone can join the group without approval from a group owner.
- Private: The group content and conversations are available only to members of the group, and joining the group requires approval from a group owner.
Note: Although a user needs to be a member to participate in a private group, anyone can send email to a private group, and receive replies from the private group.
| Type: | ModernGroupTypeInfo |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
| Applies to: | Exchange Online, Exchange Online Protection |
-Alias
The Alias parameter specifies the Exchange alias (also known as the mail nickname) for the Microsoft 365 Group. This value identifies the recipient as a mail-enabled object, and shouldn't be confused with multiple email addresses for the same recipient (also known as proxy addresses). A recipient can have only one Alias value. The maximum length is 64 characters.
The Alias value can contain letters, numbers and the following characters:
- !, #, %, *, +, -, /, =, ?, ^, _, and ~.
- $, &, ', `, {, }, and | need to be escaped (for example
-Alias what`'snew) or the entire value enclosed in single quotation marks (for example,-Alias 'what'snew'). The & character is not supported in the Alias value for Microsoft Entra Connect synchronization. - Periods (.) must be surrounded by other valid characters (for example,
help.desk). - Unicode characters U+00A1 to U+00FF.
| Type: | String |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
| Applies to: | Exchange Online, Exchange Online Protection |
-AlwaysSubscribeMembersToCalendarEvents
The AlwaysSubscribeMembersToCalendarEvents switch controls the default subscription settings of new members that are added to the Microsoft 365 Group. Changing this setting doesn't affect existing group members.
- If you use this switch without a value, all future members that are added to the group will have their subscriptions set to ReplyAndEvents. Previous events are not automatically added to their calendars.
- If you use this exact syntax:
-AlwaysSubscribeMembersToCalendarEvents:$false,all future members that are added to the group will have their subscriptions set to ReplyOnly.
Group members can change their own subscription settings, which can override your intended use of this switch.
The AutoSubscribeNewMembers switch overrides this switch.
Note: This property is evaluated only when you add internal members from your organization. Guest user accounts are always subscribed when added as a member. You can manually remove subscriptions for guest users by using the Remove-UnifiedGroupLinks cmdlet.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
| Applies to: | Exchange Online, Exchange Online Protection |
-AuditLogAgeLimit
The AuditLogAgeLimit parameter specifies the maximum age of audit log entries for the Microsoft 365 Group. Log entries older than the specified value are removed. The default value is 90 days.
To specify a value, enter it as a time span: dd.hh:mm:ss where dd = days, hh = hours, mm = minutes, and ss = seconds.
For example, to specify 60 days for this parameter, use 60.00:00:00.
| Type: | EnhancedTimeSpan |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
| Applies to: | Exchange Online, Exchange Online Protection |
-AutoSubscribeNewMembers
The AutoSubscribeNewMembers switch specifies whether to automatically subscribe new members that are added to the Microsoft 365 Group to conversations and calendar events. Only users that are added to the group after you enable this setting are automatically subscribed to the group.
- To subscribe new members to conversations and calendar events, use the AutoSubscribeNewMembers switch without a value.
- If you don't want to subscribe new members to conversations and calendar events, use this exact syntax:
-AutoSubscribeNewMembers:$false.
Note: This property is evaluated only when you add internal members from your organization. Guest user accounts are always subscribed when added as a member. You can manually remove subscriptions for guest users by using the Remove-UnifiedGroupLinks cmdlet.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
| Applies to: | Exchange Online, Exchange Online Protection |
-CalendarMemberReadOnly
The CalendarMemberReadOnly switch specifies whether to set read-only Calendar permissions to the Microsoft 365 Group for members of the group.
- To set read-only Calendar permissions, use the CalendarMemberReadOnly switch without a value.
- To remove read-only Calendar permissions, use this exact syntax:
-CalendarMemberReadOnly:$false.
To view the current value of the CalendarMemberReadOnly property on a Microsoft 365 Group, replace <EmailAddress> with the email address of the group, and run this command: Get-UnifiedGroup -Identity <EmailAddress> -IncludeAllProperties | Format-List *Calendar*.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |

-Classification
The Classification parameter specifies the classification for the Microsoft 365 Group. You need to configure the list of available classifications in Microsoft Entra ID before you can specify a value for this parameter. For more information, see Microsoft Entra cmdlets for configuring group settings.
| Type: | String |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
| Applies to: | Exchange Online, Exchange Online Protection |
-Confirm
The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on if the cmdlet requires confirmation before proceeding.
- Destructive cmdlets (for example, Remove-* cmdlets) have a built-in pause that forces you to acknowledge the command before proceeding. For these cmdlets, you can skip the confirmation prompt by using this exact syntax:
-Confirm:$false. - Most other cmdlets (for example, New-* and Set-* cmdlets) don't have a built-in pause. For these cmdlets, specifying the Confirm switch without a value introduces a pause that forces you acknowledge the command before proceeding.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Aliases: | cf |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |

-EmailAddresses
The EmailAddresses parameter specifies all email addresses (proxy addresses) for the Microsoft 365 Group, including the primary SMTP address. In cloud-based organizations, the primary SMTP address and other proxy addresses for Microsoft 365 Groups are typically set by email address policies. However, you can use this parameter to configure other proxy addresses for the Microsoft 365 Group.
Valid syntax for this parameter is "Type:EmailAddress1","Type:EmailAddress2",..."Type:EmailAddressN". The optional Type value specifies the type of email address. Examples of valid values include:
- SMTP: The primary SMTP address. You can use this value only once in a command.
- smtp: Other SMTP email addresses.
- SPO: SharePoint Online email address.
If you don't include a Type value for an email address, the address is assumed to be an SMTP email address. The syntax of SMTP email addresses is validated, but the syntax of other email address types isn't validated. Therefore, you need to verify that any custom addresses are formatted correctly.
To specify the primary SMTP email address, you can use any of the following methods:
- Use the Type value SMTP on the address.
- The first email address when you don't use any Type values, or when you use multiple lowercase smtp Type values.
- Use the PrimarySmtpAddress parameter instead. You can't use the EmailAddresses parameter and the PrimarySmtpAddress parameter in the same command.
To replace all existing proxy email addresses with the values you specify, use the following syntax: "Type:EmailAddress1","Type:EmailAddress2",..."Type:EmailAddressN".
To add or remove specify proxy addresses without affecting other existing values, use the following syntax: @{Add="Type:EmailAddress1","Type:EmailAddress2",...; Remove="Type:EmailAddress3","Type:EmailAddress4",...}.

The group can still receive messages, but users can't search for or browse to the group in Outlook or Outlook on the web. Users can't find the group by using the Discover option in Outlook on the web. The HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled property is set to the value True to prevent the group from showing in the GAL and in the Offline Address Book (OAB).
- To disable this setting, use this exact syntax:
-HiddenFromExchangeClientsEnabled:$false. The Microsoft 365 Group isn't hidden from Outlook experiences. The group will be visible in the GAL and other address lists. This is the default value. - If Microsoft 365 Groups are hidden from Exchange clients, users don't see the option to subscribe or unsubscribe to a Microsoft 365 Group.

-MailTip
The MailTip parameter specifies the custom MailTip text for this recipient. The MailTip is shown to senders when they start drafting an email message to this recipient. If the value contains spaces, enclose the value in quotation marks (").
When you add a MailTip to a recipient, two things happen:
- HTML tags are automatically added to the text. For example, if you enter the text: "This mailbox is not monitored", the MailTip automatically becomes:
<html><body>This mailbox is not monitored</body></html>. Additional HTML tags aren't supported, and the length of the MailTip can't exceed 175 displayed characters. - The text is automatically added to the MailTipTranslations property of the recipient as the default value:
default:<MailTip text>. If you modify the MailTip text, the default value is automatically updated in the MailTipTranslations property, and vice-versa.

HTML tags are automatically added to the MailTip translation, additional HTML tags aren't supported, and the length of the MailTip translation can't exceed 175 displayed characters.
To add or remove MailTip translations without affecting the default MailTip or other MailTip translations, use the following syntax:
@{Add="Culture1:Localized text 1","\Culture2:Localized text 2"...; Remove="Culture3:Localized text 3","Culture4:Localized text 4"...}.
CultureN is a valid ISO 639 two-letter culture code that's associated with the language.
For example, suppose this recipient currently has the MailTip text: "This mailbox is not monitored." To add the Spanish translation, use the following value for this parameter: @{Add="ES:Esta caja no se supervisa."}.

-MaxReceiveSize
The MaxReceiveSize parameter specifies the maximum size of an email message that can be sent to this group. Messages that exceed the maximum size are rejected by the group.
When you enter a value, qualify the value with one of the following units:
- B (bytes)
- KB (kilobytes)
- MB (megabytes)
- GB (gigabytes)
Unqualified values are typically treated as bytes, but small values may be rounded up to the nearest kilobyte.
A valid value is a number up to 1.999999 gigabytes (2147483647 bytes) or the value unlimited. The default value is unlimited, which indicates the maximum size is imposed elsewhere (for example, organization, server, or connector limits).
Base64 encoding increases the size of messages by approximately 33%, so specify a value that's 33% larger than the actual maximum message size that you want to enforce. For example, the value 64 MB results in a maximum message size of approximately 48 MB.
| Type: | Unlimited |
| Position: | Named |

-ModeratedBy
The ModeratedBy parameter specifies one or more moderators for this recipient. A moderator approves messages sent to the recipient before the messages are delivered. A moderator must be a mailbox, mail user, or mail contact in your organization. You can use any value that uniquely identifies the moderator. For example:
- Name
- Alias
- Distinguished name (DN)
- Canonical DN
- Email address
- GUID
You can enter multiple values separated by commas. If the values contain spaces or otherwise require quotation marks, use the following syntax: "Value1","Value2",..."ValueN".

-RejectMessagesFromSendersOrMembers
The RejectMessagesFromSendersOrMembers parameter specifies who isn't allowed to send messages to this recipient. Messages from these senders are rejected.
Valid values for this parameter are individual senders and groups in your organization. Individual senders are mailboxes, mail users, and mail contacts. Groups are distribution groups, mail-enabled security groups, and dynamic distribution groups. Specifying a group means all members of the group aren't allowed to send messages to this recipient.
To specify senders for this parameter, you can use any value that uniquely identifies the sender. For example:
- Name
- Alias
- Distinguished name (DN)
- Canonical DN
- Email address
- GUID
You can enter multiple senders separated by commas. To overwrite any existing entries, use the following syntax: Sender1,Sender2,...SenderN. If the values contain spaces or otherwise require quotation marks, use the following syntax: "Sender1","Sender2",..."SenderN".
To add or remove individual senders or groups without affecting other existing entries, use the RejectMessagesFrom and RejectMessagesFromDLMembers parameters.
The individual senders and groups you specify for this parameter are automatically copied to the RejectMessagesFrom and RejectMessagesFromDLMembers properties, respectively. Therefore, you can't use the RejectMessagesFromSendersOrMembers parameter and the RejectMessagesFrom or RejectMessagesFromDLMembers parameters in the same command.
By default, this parameter is blank ($null), which allows this recipient to accept messages from all senders.

-SubscriptionEnabled
The SubscriptionEnabled switch specifies whether the group owners can enable subscription to conversations and calendar events on the groups they own. This option can be set only in Exchange Online PowerShell.
- To change the value to $true, use this switch without a value.
- To change the value to $false, use this exact syntax:
-SubscriptionEnabled:$false. The value of the AutoSubscribeNewMembers parameter must also be $false before you can use the value $false for this switch.
Note: You should use the value $false for this switch only if you intend to disable group owner ability to change subscription options on the group. Group owners will not be able to enable subscription options on the group settings using Outlook on the web or Outlook desktop. Group owners might see the error, "The group update is in progress" error when they try to enable Subscription option. Admins trying to enable Subscription from Microsoft admin center might also see error, "Can't save 'Send copies of group conversations and events to group member's inboxes' Either your assigned product license doesn't include Exchange Online or you have recently created this group and it's still not ready for management".
Note: This property is evaluated only when you add internal members from your organization. Guest user accounts are always subscribed when added as a member. You can manually remove subscriptions for guest users by using the Remove-UnifiedGroupLinks cmdlet.
