exchange / AD to delegate user to control group membership

Dear experts,

I'm writing to seek your opinion about how to delegate some non-admin user to control the membership of one group?

I can see there is Delegate Control option on our Group folder via on-premise AD. However we have quite many groups in this folder and I want the certain user to control only some of the sub-groups. I'm also admin of our Microsoft 365 and Exchange center.

Any idea is warmly welcome. Thanks a lot for reading this.

Hi @EavenHuang-0590

Sorry I may first need to confirm with you:
1. Do you have a Exchange hybrid development? Or it is a standalone Exchange On-premises server or Exchange Online tenant?
2. Are the groups Microsoft 365 groups or distribution groups?
3. How would you like to manage the group membership? For example, use Outlook, Exchange Admin Center or Powershell (EMS).

Thanks in advance for your update.

Hi @KaelYao-MSFT,

Please kindly find my answers as follows:

  1. We have office 365 subscription and using Exchange online.

  2. The groups were created via our on-premise AD and synchronized to Exchange Online, the groups were used for sending emails as group (in particular).

  3. The ideal solution is that we can give some certain user (non-admin) permission so he can help to manage the membership by himself. Currently when they want to add or remove some members from the group, they need to request us. I saw that Outlook (office 365) has an option called Group under Outlook - People - Members, not sure if I was looking at the correct place..

If any additional information is needed, please let me know. Thanks again for your comments.

Hi @EavenHuang-0590

Thanks for your information.

Do the groups show as Microsoft 365 groups or distribution groups in Exchange Admin Center?


To have non-admin users to manage the membership, I suppose you may need to add them as owners and members of the group.

If it is a Microsoft 365 group, you may follow this document to have them manage the group membership via Outlook or OWA.
Add and remove group members in Outlook

If it is a distribution group, you can manage the group membership via Address Book in Outlook.
