Creating a distribution list
A distribution list in Microsoft 365 is a type of email group used to send notifications to a group of people. It’s an effective tool for email communication within an organization, especially for sending updates and information to a specific department or team.
Getting ready
Ensure that you have administrative rights to access the Exchange admin center within Microsoft 365. Specifically, you will need to be assigned the Exchange Administrator role or another role that includes the necessary permissions to create and manage distribution lists. Simply having access as a reader will not allow you to execute this recipe.
How to do it…
- Log into the Exchange admin center at https://admin.exchange.microsoft.com.
- Once in the Exchange admin center, select Recipients | Groups in the left navigation menu, as shown in Figure 4.9.
