Calendar permissions
Please make it possible to set Calendar permissions to read only so that it's possible to have a group calendar that can only be edited by selected members of the group.
1,160 votesThanks for the request. Currently there is a way to set this property through powershell for groups, but it only works for users in OWA. We have this in our plans for Outlook desktop as well and will be working on it.
Thanks.

View members of group in Outlook for Mac
Distribution Lists and Outlook 365 Groups are still handled differently by Outlook for Mac. One example is that you can view the membership of a distribution list but you cannot view the membership of a group.

It should be possible to not get ANY email from the group.
Since the group is integrated in outlook next to your Inbox, I (and my colleagues) want to keep everything that's been said in the group, inside the group.
As soon as someone replies to a message you posted in the group, you start receiving those replies in your inbox, but the answer is also inside the group, and again my mailbox overflows. If the conversation only stays in the group, the context would be clear immediately.

Nominate a new owner
In an instance where a Group only has 1 owner, but that owner leaves the company the Group becomes somewhat orphaned. Please add a more automated way to select a new owner such as allowing current members to nominate a new owner.

To avoid the condition where an O365 Group becomes "orphaned" when the Owner leaves the company, apps that create O365 Groups should require that the creator add at least a second owner to the Group. This will prevent expiration/renewal notices from being sent to an Admin account, and increase the odds that there will be an Owner to respond and renew the group.

group creation on Onedrive
The creation of groups in Onedrive must comply with the same naming rules established for Exchange.
In general all groups should complyIt is confusing to establish rules and to appear groups that do not meet them.
