Message Moderation in O365 Groups

Groups play an important role in every collaboration solution. Groups allow you to collaborate with a set of people when required. Permissions in o365 groups are not manually assigned to each user of the group. These permissions are automatically applied to all the members once they become a part of the group. 

Groups help the end-users when similar content is to be shared with a large no. of users simultaneously. There are times when the group owners or the group managers demand that every message sent to the group email address, should be reviewed by them. 

This is where the message moderation in groups comes into the picture. In o365 groups, message moderation policy allows the moderator to reject/approve messages sent to the group as per their convenience.

Steps to apply message moderation in o365 groups:

1 . Log in to the o365 admin center and then click exchange.

2. In the exchange admin center, click on recipients.

3. Navigate to the groups and then select the group for which you want to enable moderation

4. Then click edit and select message approval.

5. Mention the email address of the moderator who’ll accept/reject the messages sent to the group.
