I was recently informed by the person in our department who manages the distribution groups in O365 that all of our staff members are able to create public groups. We don't mind if they create private groups but not public groups. The way we have it setup is that we only want those who are Management admins (which are given the distribution group owner role) to be able to create public groups.
What I noticed is that while logged in under a test account on our system I was able to create both a private and public group. When I went to look at the list of groups in the O365 admin center I found both the private and public group listed in the list of groups. Is that the way it's supposed to work? Should anybody on staff be able to see the private group somebody else created in the list of groups? I don't think they're able to join or view any of the group's data but they are at least able to see that it exists.
I'm also curious about the admin side of it as well. While looking in the O365 admin section should I be able to see the private groups that staff have created?
The person who manages the groups in our department said that it's related to a Microsoft update because both times it's happened we haven't changed anything on our end and then after a little while things go back to normal. Any help would be appreciated.
