Assigning Exchange Online mail-enabled distribution groups to Exchange Online recipients

Exchange Online mail-enabled distribution groups can be assigned directly or indirectly to mailboxes, mail users, and mail contacts.

In the case of indirect assignment, employees and mail-enabled distribution groups are assigned to hierarchical roles, such as departments, cost centers, locations, or business roles. The mail-enabled distribution groups assigned to an employee are calculated from the position in the hierarchy and the direction of inheritance.

  • If you add an employee in roles and the employee has a mailbox, the mailbox is added to the mail-enabled distribution groups.

  • If you add an employee to roles and that employee has a mail user, the mail user is added to the mail-enabled distribution groups.

  • If you add an employee to roles and that employee has a mail contact, the mail contact is added to the mail-enabled distribution groups.

Furthermore, Exchange Online mail-enabled distribution groups can be requested in the Web Portal. To do this, add employees to a shop as customers. All Exchange Online mail-enabled distribution groups that are assigned to this shop as products can be requested by the customers. Requested Exchange Online mail-enabled distribution groups are assigned to the employees after approval is granted.

Through system roles, Exchange Online mail-enabled distribution groups can be grouped together and assigned to employees and workdesks as a package. You can create system roles that contain only Exchange Online mail-enabled distribution groups. You can also group any number of company resources into a system role.

To react quickly to special requests, you can assign Exchange Online mail-enabled distribution groups directly to mailboxes, mail users, and mail contacts.
