### Turn off group welcome email
8080
A welcome notification is sent to all users when they're added to a new Microsoft 365 group, regardless of the membership type. When an attribute of a user or device changes, all dynamic group rules in the organization are processed for potential membership changes. Users who are added then also receive the welcome notification. You can turn off this behavior in [Exchange PowerShell](/powershell/module/exchange/set-unifiedgroup).

For the security group type, you can add an existing group to another group (also known as nested groups). Depending on the group membership types, you can add a group as a member of another group, just like a user, which applies settings like access permissions and roles to nested groups. But for nested groups, Entra doesn't apply assigned membership to shared resources and applications.
