Managing cloud-only dynamic distribution groups

To distribute messages to a group of users, you can use dynamic distribution groups (mail-enabled Active Directory group objects).

Distribution groups have a defined list of members, but for dynamic distribution groups, you can define filters and conditions. Every time a message is sent to the group, the list of members changes dynamically based on the defined criteria.

In the Active Roles Web Interface, you can create, manage or delete cloud-only dynamic distribution groups in Directory Management > Tree> Azure > <azure-tenant-name> > Dynamic Distribution Groups. Dynamic distribution groups that are created in the Active Roles Web Interface are synchronized to the Exchange admin center.

For more information about cloud-only dynamic distribution groups, see Manage dynamic distribution groups in Exchange Online in the Microsoft Exchange Online documentation.

You can create a new dynamic distribution group with the Create New Dynamic Distribution Group action of the Active Roles Web Interface.

To create a new dynamic distribution group

  1. In the Active Roles Web Interface, navigate to Directory Management > Tree > Azure > <azure-tenant-name> > Dynamic Distribution Groups.

    Figure 21: Directory Management > Tree > Azure > <azure-tenant-name> > Dynamic Distribution Groups — Listing the Azure dynamic distribution groups in the Azure tenant.

    • (Optional) Hide this group from the global address list (default: selected)

      Select this check box if you do not want the group to appear in the address book and other address lists defined in your Exchange organization.
