Hello and welcome to Managing Microsoft Groups. My name is Lee Mucciarone and I'm a Microsoft 365 Content Creator for Cloud Academy. I have four years of IT experience working for Microsoft with two years of specialized experience as a customer training specialist training users on Microsoft tools. Today, I'm going to take you through managing groups within Microsoft 365. In Microsoft 365, there are multiple types of groups, each with their own unique purposes. Each of these groups provides a mixture of different benefits organizations can utilize to get the most out of their Microsoft 365 subscription. 

By creating groups, organizations can organize their workforce, create shared mailboxes, assigned security permissions and even increase group collaboration depending upon which groups they decide to implement. Before we get too deep into the specifics, let's look at what we're going to be covering in this course. Today, we'll be going over the various types of groups available in the Microsoft 365 and their differences, how to create groups within Microsoft 365, and how to manage groups you create within Microsoft 365. With that out of the way, let's start off with the different types of groups and go over what benefits each can provide.
