Microsoft 365 Security Groups Report

The security groups in your Microsoft 365 environment help you group users to assign them the permissions needed to access important resources. For instance, you can form a security group to give certain users access to a SharePoint site. The main advantage of a security group is that you can set permissions for many Microsoft 365 users at the same time, rather than assigning them individually.

Mismanaging security groups can compromise security in your organization, so it is absolutely necessary to keep track of them. M365 Manager Plus' security groups report helps you access information on all your security groups. With the help of this detailed information, you can easily safeguard your critical resources and information from unauthorized access.

This report lists all your security groups along with the following information:

• Group display name
• Group ID
• Group type
• Group description
• Group common name
• Group email address
• License information
• Group owner
• Group proxy address
• Time of last directory sync operation
• Validation status

You can export this report in PDF, XLSX, HTML, and CSV file formats. You can also schedule when the report should be generated and even have the reports sent to your email in your desired file format.

M365 Manager Plus offers built-in filters to pare down your security group report so that you can create your own report to see only the data you want. For example, you can use these filters to view the details pertaining only to the security group created for your finance team. All you have to do is set the filter as Display Name → Equals → Finance and you'll see only the information you need about that particular group. You can also save this report separately, along with the other preconfigured reports.

M365 Manager Plus' security groups report lets you avoid PowerShell scripts and still get valuable insight into your security groups. There are also separate reports on distribution groups.
