| Groups in Outlook and group-connected team sites in Office 365: Private by default |
Based on customer’s feedback we are updating the default privacy setting for groups created across all Outlook apps, and the associated group-connected team sites, to be private by default so only approved members can see what’s inside the group and team site. For customers that want to continue with the existing behavior of public by default for all Outlook apps we will provide an Exchange Online PowerShell cmdlet to define the default value, or a simple update in the team site ‘Site information’ pane. This update will gradually rollout across Outlook and SharePoint in the coming months starting with Outlook on the web and SharePoint in Office 365. |
