Question

You are an Azure administrator for Contoso. Your organization has an existing Microsoft Entra security group named SG-Finance that contains 45 assigned members. The collaboration team asks you to enable a shared mailbox and a shared calendar for these members through group-based collaboration in Microsoft 365. You want to reuse the existing membership rather than recreate it. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Create a new Microsoft 365 group and manually add the 45 members, since a security group cannot be converted to a Microsoft 365 group.

Answer

Change the group type of SG-Finance from Security to Microsoft 365 in the group's properties.

Answer

Convert SG-Finance to a dynamic membership group so that it automatically provisions a shared mailbox.

Answer

Enable the 'Mail-enabled' option on SG-Finance in the Microsoft Entra admin center.
