DL owner is not able to see the "distribution groups I own " Under groups in owa control panel

Question

_{Tuesday, December 30, 2014 1:49 PM}

Hi,

We have a exchange 2013 sp1 setup.

Have enabled group owners to manage group membership using RBAC as per the below url

http://blogs.technet.com/b/nepapfe/archive/2014/03/18/managing-a-distribution-group-membership-from-outlook-in-exchange-2010-and-exchange-2013.aspx

The DL owners are able to modify the groups in outlook . However in OWA they are not able to see the "distribution groups I own"  option in users owa/ecp. They are able t see the "distribution groups I belong to".

Have reviewed the above blog once again to confirm that i did it right. What am i missing?

Hi Ron,

I found the solution.

Go to ECP-> Click permissions-> Select admin roles-> click Recipient Management-> click edit -> add Users under the Members. -> Click Save.

Then go to OWA of your account

click settings "Look like wheel" -> Click options -> click groups

Check now.

Yes minor things.

Go to Exchange admin center

Select recipients -> Groups -> Click the DL group -> Edit -> Click General->

Verify Hide this group from address lists is enable or not. If enable, remove tick mark and save.

Then go to OWA of your account

click settings "Look like wheel" -> Click options -> click groups

Then check now.

It should be there.

None of the groups are hidden. As stated earlier The option of "distribution groups I own" does not appear at all in the users owa/ecp.

Go to ECP-> Click permissions-> Select admin roles-> click Recipient Management->  click copy button " its look like two letter"

 -> down remove all other roles -> then add users in the members -> Save

Then go to OWA of your account

click settings "Look like wheel" -> Click options -> click groups
