This tutorial will show the step-by-step for creating a new distribution group in Office365-Exchange.
On Exchange Admin Center, select recipients. On the main page, select Groups tab. Click the “+” (plus sign) and select the Security Group.
You will be able to open the new security group pop-up page, which will allow you to set the group’s properties.
Initially on this pop-up page, you can set the group’s display name (the name that will appear for the group being created), alias and email (the name of the email account that will be created for the group) and the domain that will be used for the group’s email address.
Owners – they are the owner of the distribution group. The administrator that created the distribution group is automatically set as owner by the system, but this can be modified. In large corporate environments, Senior Managers are the ones set as owners of distribution groups for their respective departments.
If the check box Add group owners as members is ticked, owners will be added as members, so they will be able to receive emails addressed to the distribution group being created.
Members – they receive any email addressed to this distribution group.
If the check box Owner approval is required is ticked, it means that adding members to the distribution group will require approval from the owner(s).
To add distribution group members, click the “+” (plus sign) above the members box. Another pop-up window will appear. This pop-up will display all available accounts on this server.
Highlight the name of the account that you want to add to the distribution group, then at the bottom of the page, click the add button. The selected account will appear on the box, where it will also show an option for removal. Once done selecting group members, click OK.
Note: members that can be added to groups should have an account on your Office 365 Exchange.
If the account was added accordingly, it should appear under members’ box.
Save the newly created group by clicking the Save button at the bottom of the page. Once done, search for the newly created group and double click it to open its properties.
Go to Delivery Management. This section will allow you to set whether external domains will be allowed to send emails to this distribution group.
Only senders inside my organization – allows only “internal domains” to be able to send to the distribution group.
Senders inside and outside of my organization – this allows external domains to be able to send to your distribution group.
