Mail Enabled Security Groups Assignment

A mail-enabled security group can be used to distribute messages and to grant access permissions to resources in Active Directory. Mail-enabled security groups allow us to control access to specific resources like OneDrive, SharePoint etc. and allow us to send emails to all the members for efficient communication.

This design step allows you to create rules to select specific users using filters and assign them the desired Mail Enabled Security Groups.

The Groups selected in "Default Group Mapping" will be associated with all the users.

Note- This is a optional step, there is no need for you to fill out the default Mail Enabled Security Groups dropdown to move to the next step.

How to create a Rule for mapping the Mail Enabled Security Groups?

Once you are on this step you will see a section under the heading Mail Enabled Security Groups Membership. This section represents a rule based on which Mail Enabled Security Groups can be assigned to selected users.

Following are the steps to create a rule:

1. You can set up the filters to select the users you want to assign Mail Enabled Security Groups to. You can create a filter using the following steps -

   • Click on "Choose Attribute" and select employee attribute and operation you want to apply to match that attribute.
   • Next, you get a "Value" field where you type the value you want to match the attribute with and also choose the Mail Enabled Security Groups you want to assign.
