Assign tickets to Microsoft 365 group

Microsoft 365 group is a tool for collaboration and sharing resources within your tenant. You can assign tickets to existing ones what makes it possible for all group members to receive notifications about new replies in a ticket. If you do not have the one you would like to use in HelpDesk, create it. Open the list of active groups in Microsoft 365 admin center and add a new one.

Configure the group going through the all wizard steps. If required, you can set any group type other than Microsoft 365. But this one provides you with all advantages of the Microsoft services.

After you have created the group, open it for further set-up.

Add new members to the group.
