We need the ability to add events to a Group calendar where only selected people are invited and notified.

The current ability to create Group calendar appointments is a step forward but not good enough. As soon as someone is invited, it changes from an appointment to an event that then sends a notification to all group members – whether subscribed to the Group or not!

DESIRED FUNCTIONALITY
- Ability to deselect Group members from a Group calendar event
- Ability to add invitees to event where only invitees are notified – either group members or non-group individuals
- Maintain ability for all Group members to see event in Group calendar and add to their calendar if desired

DESIRED EXPERIANCE

• EVENT CREATION
  -- Create new event in Group calendar
  -- Choose not to notify/invite group members
  -- Add specific individuals – either group members or non-group individuals




• EVENT INVITEES
  -- Named invitees receive invite in their inbox




• GROUP MEMBERS NOT SPECIFICALLY INVITED
  -- Do not receive a notification of the event in inbox
  -- Can see event in Group calendar
  -- Can edit event in Group calendar
  -- Can add Group event to personal calendar

BONUS EXPERIANCE CHANGE
If the Group notification remains checked for the event, only send the invite to the Group members inbox if they subscribe to the Group i.e. treat calendar notifications the same as Group conversations

Currently group expiration is based on an renewal date, example: require the owner to renew every 6 months.
However, the risk is if the owner doesn't see the email(s) (they get three) then the group could be removed even if there is legitimate group activity going on.
We would like the group expiration to be influenced by actual group activity, so if you see the email alias associated with a group actively being used then do not delete the group, but instead send the owner an email saying "are you still using this? We won't delete it, but we just want to make sure it is still needed."
So essentially the code would say: "if the group is actively being used, send the notification but do not delete the group unless the owner actively says it is okay to delete."

With the onboarding of Teams, there are some groups out there that have changed their Group Name. While as a Global Admin I know I can successfully change the display name and email address of said group via powershell, but there doesn't seem to be a way to change the SharePointSiteURL, SharePointDocumentsURL & SharePointNotebookURL of the group.

This means that the only way for a Group to have the URL of their choice is by recreating it with the new name, which wipes out all the content of their current group. We should have a way to change the SharePoint URLs for groups.

When creating an Office 365 Group, a SharePoint site is automatically created. Neither the user nor the administrator, however, have any control of where that group lives or what template it uses.

Ideally, users would be able to alternatively associate an Office 365 Group with an EXISTING SharePoint site, thus allowing them to a) choose any location, b) choose any template, and c) associate with current SharePoint infrastructure (instead of potentially duplicating content).

Obviously, the site would need to a) meet some preconditions, b) be upgraded to satisfy requirements, or c) have limited integration support. For instance, the site would need to have, at minimum, a Document Library and a (OneNote) Notebook to take advantage of current integrations. My preference would be to automatically add those features if they aren't already enabled, although this may introduce permissions issues.

I love the integration between Office 365 Groups, Planner, Yammer, SharePoint, and Exchange, but wish it provided more control, especially on the SharePoint side.

We're trying to change the default smtp address of a Unified Group. We would expect our Exchange admins to be able to manage this. When following this documentation, https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt432940(v=exchg.160).aspx, we discover that the admin must be in the following role groups:

Organization Management
Recipient Management
Id Admin
Service_account

After this failed, we took the case to Office 365 support. There they instructed us that this must be done by someone with Global Administrator role. The only documentation for this reality is located here: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Create-an-Office-365-group-in-the-admin-center-74a1ef8b-3844-4d08-9980-9f8f7a36000f

This article makes the following general statement. "While users can create an Office 365 group from Outlook or other apps, as the global admin, you may need to create or delete groups, add or remove members, and customize how they work."

So far this is the only documentation that can be provided that backs up the claim that only Global Administrators can change the primary SMTP address.

When asking support to feed this feedback to the product team, they directed me to UserVoice.

Thanks,
