Office 365 group subscribers

patric kellenberger

Members, owners, and subscribers can be assigned to Office 365 groups.

What's the difference between members and subscribers?

    A short Google search returns the explanation.

    "Office 365 Groups allow members to subscribe to a group so that members are notified by e-mail when group content such as conversations or new calendar items are added or modified. Subscription settings for groups can be set by members and group owners."

    Thank you for your answer. but i don't understand this really.

    Can you explain, how it works in the identity manager?

    i can add a azure account to a o365-group about the task "Assign subscribers".

    the identity manager add this account as a subscriber and member (new entry in tables: "O3EAADuserSubscrUnifiedGroup" and "O3EAADuserInUnifiedGroup").

    on "azure ad" is this account a new member of the o365-group.

    when i remove this account about the task "Assign subscribers".

    the identity manager remove this account as a subscriber but not as member (delete in table: "O3EAADuserSubscrUnifiedGroup").

    on "azure ad" the account is still member of the o365-group.

     

    what's the difference? what is the purpose?

    thank you for your support

    As I have said

    "Office 365 Groups allow members to subscribe to a group so that members are notified by e-mail when group content such as conversations or new calendar items are added or modified."

    So you need to be a member to be a subscriber - that's why OneIM Adds you to the group as well. But if you remove just the subscription capability, you can still be a member of the group. Hence the group membership still applies.
