The Group Templates page allows administrators to define templates for creating groups. These templates can speed up the process of creating new groups by pre-defining certain group parameters. Once a template is created, it can be reused multiple times to create new groups with similar settings.
Display Name
This is the name that will be given to the group when a group is created using this template. It should be unique and descriptive.
Description
This field should contain a more detailed explanation of the group's purpose. This might include information about who should be added to the group, what resources the group provides access to, or any other information that helps describe the group.
Username
The username of the creator of the group template.
Group Type
The type of group that the template creates. Options include:
Azure Role Group
Security Group
Distribution List*
Mail Enabled Security Group
Dynamic Group*
Allow External
Are external people allowed to email this group?
*Additional Fields for Specific Group Types
For some types of groups, additional fields become available when that type is selected:
Allow External: For Distribution Lists, a checkbox labeled "Let people outside the organization email the group" becomes available.
Dynamic Group Parameters: For Dynamic Groups, a text box for entering the dynamic group parameters syntax becomes available e.g.: (user.userPrincipalName -notContains "#EXT#@") -and (user.userType -ne "Guest").
