Assigning groups without email to a workspace

Hi

 

I am working in an environmnet where a number of on premise AD groups have been migrated to AAD but do not have group email addresses assigned.

 

How can I use these groups as membership to a workspace in PowerBI.com as they do not get listed (expecting an email address ?)

 

Any help appreciated

    Hi omdavies, assuming you created a "new workspace", according to the documentation, you can add multiple AD security groups, distribution lists, or Office 365 groups to these lists to allow for easier user management.

    So the minimum you need is a (mail enabled) security group. We also use these for access to workspaces.

    You could use your existing AAD-groups to fill the mail enabled security groups. So you can re-use those.

    Hi, omdavies 

     

    Based on my research, you may go to Microsoft 365 Admin Center to create a new Group or use an existing group.

     

     

    Then you can add your existing AAD-groups members to the corresponding groups. Finally, you may add the group to 'Workspace access' of the corresponding new workspace.

     

    Best Regards
