Exchange Online mail-enabled distribution groups

You can use mail-enabled universal security groups and mail-enabled universal distribution groups to distribute messages to a group of recipients.

Mail-enabled distribution groups are loaded into One Identity Manager by synchronization. You can create and edit mail-enabled distribution groups in One Identity Manager. When you create a mail-enabled distribution group, an Azure Active Directory group is also created and linked to the mail-enabled distribution group.

In One Identity Manager, you can assign mail-enabled distribution groups directly to mailboxes, mail users, and mail contacts or they can be inherited through departments, cost centers, locations, or business roles. Users can also request mail-enabled distribution groups through the Web Portal. To do this, the mail-enabled distribution groups are supplied by the IT Shop.
