Office 365 Admin - Brain Dump
Users
-
Admin > USERS > Active Users
- This is where we add users and assign them licenses.
Contacts / People Address Books
-
Admin > CONTACTS
lets us add contacts that appear in each user's Global Address List (GAL) but that only the O365 admin can edit. This is a good way to create shared contacts that only admins can edit. We can import contacts into the GAL using PowerShell 0365 and a CSV file. -
Alternatively, using a Company
Shared Contacts Folder
provides greater control over who can edit. Configure this within
Admin > ADMIN > Exchange > public folders
. The benefit is that we can use this to allow non-admins to add/edit/delete contacts. The major downside is that public folders are only accessible via the Outlook Desktop App NOT via Outlook Web Access (OWA) nor mobile devices.
- Give a user email by assigning them a license (see Users)
Domains
-
Manage custom domain names from
Admin > DOMAINS
.
