    If you created the group IT-GLOBAL-GCP-BTDP-L1-SHIFT-HANDOVER and put yourself as the group owner but do not see yourself listed as an owner, it could be due to the way the group was created. When an admin creates a new Microsoft 365 group, they are not always automatically added as a member of that group, depending on the admin dialogue used. If you are not a member of the group, you will not be able to see yourself as an owner in the owner's section.

    To resolve this, you can check the following:

    1. Ensure that you are indeed listed as a member of the group. If not, you may need to add yourself as a member.
    2. If you created the group from the admin portal, consider creating it from the Outlook or SharePoint user interface, which typically adds the creator as a member automatically.
    3. If you have access, you can manage group membership by adding yourself or checking with another admin to ensure your ownership status is correctly assigned.

    If you continue to experience issues, you may want to reach out to your organization's IT support for further assistance.

    Hi,

    Thank you for sharing your question. I understand you created the group and intended to be the owner, but you’re not listed under Owners.

    This usually happens when a group is created from certain admin portals where the creator isn’t automatically set as the owner. In Microsoft Entra (Azure) portal scenarios, ownership isn’t always assigned on creation, so you may need to add yourself as an owner afterward. You can fix this quickly in the Microsoft 365 admin center or Entra admin center.

    If it’s a Microsoft 365 group

    Sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin center, go to Teams & groups, open Active teams & groups, select your group, then on the Membership tab choose Owners, select Add owners, and add yourself. This page also lets you confirm owners and members in one place.

    If it’s an Entra ID security group

    Open the Microsoft Entra admin center, go to Identity → Groups → All groups, open the group, and add yourself on the Owners tab. This is the standard path to manage owners for security groups.

    Helpful tip for visibility and permissions

    Even when you’re the owner of a Microsoft 365 group, make sure you’re also a member. Some experiences, like SharePoint search, rely on membership rather than ownership owners who aren’t members might not see expected content until they’re added as members.

    I hope this helps.

     

    Best Regards,

    Noel
