New My Groups Experience

Originally posted by Microsoft Mar 3, 2023 Uncategorized 0 Comments

We will be replacing the existing My Groups experience at mygroups.microsoft.com with a new and improved My Groups, now available at myaccount.microsoft.com/groups in mid-May 2023. 

My Groups enables end users to easily manage groups, such as finding groups to join, managing groups they own, and managing existing group memberships. Based on customer feedback, we’ve also added:

• sorting and filtering on lists of groups and group members,
• a full list of group members in large groups, and
• an actionable overview page for membership requests.

When this will happen:

Beginning in mid-May and expect to complete by late May.

How this will affect your organization:

In May, users will no longer be able to access the existing My Groups and will need to adjust to the new experience. Today, end users can get the richer benefits of the new My Groups by proactively switching to myaccount.microsoft.com/groups. Navigation between the old and new experiences is available via notification banners on each site.   

In May, the old experience will be retired. The previous URL (mygroups.microsoft.com) will redirect users to the new experience at myaccount.microsoft.com/groups. 

In addition, in May, admins will not be able to restrict owners or users from accessing or using My Groups. Admins can still manage end users’ ability to create Microsoft 365 and Security groups using the settings described here: Set up self-service group management in Azure Active Directory

What you need to do to prepare:

You may consider updating your training and documentation so users can adjust to the new experience.
