Summary & Roadmap

• Naming conventions- Set on display name during create/change

- Blocked word list, pre-/post-fix based on AAD

attributes or fixed text

- Same policy for DL and groups

- IT admins can override

• Group creation permissions- Control groups create UI in OWA and OLK for

certain or all users through OWA policy

- Does not prevent users from using groups

- IT can still create groups (managed scenarios)
