The following steps will guide you on how to create users and groups:
Step1: Navigate to users, click on the dropdown of users and select all users and the all-user’s pane open.
In this task we are using the Bulk operations to create our multiple users. Click on the dropdown of Bulk operations and select bulk create. For the purpose of this task, we are using the download csv file, although its optional.
Next: Upload the csv file and click on select.
Users are successfully created as showed in the screenshot below .
Step2: Create Two Groups with the names Product Team and Vendor and add the users created to these groups
To create groups, scroll to groups dropdown click on it, click on All groups and select New group.
The New group pane opens. Fill in the details and add users. Adding users can be done while creating the group or after creating the group you can add users. For this task I choose to add users while creating the group. Then select create.
After adding users, select create.
Follow same process to create the second group and also add the users.
Our Two Groups have been created successfully
Step3: Test a mail flow to the email address of these groups by sending a random email to each of the groups.
Mail successfully sent to groups
Step4: Sign in with at least 1 member of each group to verify if the email sent is visible in their mailboxes via the outlook app.
To be able to carry out the task, we must first assign licenses to the users. The users were created without a license.
Licenses are assigned in M365 admin center.
Go to M365 admin center and click on licenses. Select Assign licenses and search for the users you want to assign license and select Assign. For the task we are assigning license to two users, one from each group as shown in the screenshot.
Next, sign with the users to verify the mails we sent earlier.
Login successfully into two groups using one member each.
