What’s happening?
The customer is considering assigning a mail-enabled security group that includes all employees to a specific environment and is seeking information on the potential impacts of this assignment, particularly regarding email notifications and nested groups.
Reason:
The inquiry arises from concerns about whether assigning a mail-enabled security group to an environment would trigger email notifications to members and if there are any implications related to nested groups.
Resolution:
- It has been confirmed that when a mail-enabled security group is assigned to an environment, no notification emails are sent to the members, regardless of whether it is a new or existing environment.
- There are no specific concerns regarding the impact of nested groups on the assignment. However, it is noted that members of the security group will be provisioned and become active in the environment upon their first login.
- For further troubleshooting regarding environment access issues, it is recommended to clear the browser cache if new roles or security groups have been assigned, and to refer to the documentation on common user access issues in the Power Platform.
