Hi,
This is a Windows 11, Microsoft 365, Microsoft Azure and Intune environments.
It is related to the CRM which have different groups.
I am still confused with the DISTRIBUTION group vs SECURITY GROUP
Question: Somebody would explain a little bit (with your own wording) the difference related to the distribution and security group in Microsoft Azure and Intune environments.
Thanks,
Tjie


A security group has one thing a distribution group does not have and that is a SID (security identifier) which means the group can be used to given permissions to resources within Active Directory or Windows Servers. 
A distribution group cannot do permissions, and a distribution group is generally used for grouping purposes such as mail.

The difference between Distribution group and Security group in Microsoft 365, Microsoft Azure and Intune environments.

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.

Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform and infrastructure for building, deploying and managing applications and services through datacenters. It provides both platform-as-a-service (PaaS) and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) services and supports many different programming languages, tools and frameworks, including both Microsoft-specific and third-party software and systems. Cloud Services is a PaaS environment and can be used to create scalable applications and services; there are specific software development kits (SDKs) provided by Microsoft for Python, Java, Node.js and .NET. Azure also has file and storage services, data management, analytics and DNS services.
