We have this security group named "Sales Manager - Sec" (which does not have email address):-

so can we add a security group which does not have an email address inside the recipients list for "Grant access to an item or folder" action ?

    Hi @johnjohn123 

     

    For controlling access to SharePoint access and one drive, the group should be mail-emailed security group:

    If this helps, please remember to give a 👍 and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.

     

    Thanks

    @ManishSolanki no this is not 100% correct.. you can from the UI add a security group to the SharePoint permission (site, list or item or document) even if this security group does not have any email address.. you can try it .. even in the picture you provided it mentioned that you can assign security group (without emails) to SharePoint!
