## Why assign roles to groups?

Consider the example where the Contoso company has hired people across geographies to manage and reset passwords for employees in its Azure AD organization. Instead of asking a Privileged Role Administrator or Global Administrator to assign the Helpdesk Administrator role to each person individually, they can create a Contoso_Helpdesk_Administrators group and assign the role to the group. When people join the group, they are assigned the role indirectly. Your existing governance workflow can then take care of the approval process and auditing of the group's membership to ensure that only legitimate users are members of the group and are thus assigned the Helpdesk Administrator role.

If a group is assigned a role, any IT administrator who can manage group membership could also indirectly manage the membership of that role. For example, assume that a group named Contoso_User_Administrators is assigned the User Administrator role. An Exchange administrator who can modify group membership could add themselves to the Contoso_User_Administrators group and in that way become a User Administrator. As you can see, an administrator could elevate their privilege in a way you did not intend.

Only groups that have the `isAssignableToRole` property set to `true` at creation time can be assigned a role. This property is immutable. Once a group is created with this property set, it can't be changed. You can't set the property on an existing group.

## Use PIM to make a group eligible for a role assignment

If you do not want members of the group to have standing access to a role, you can use [Azure AD Privileged Identity Management (PIM)](../privileged-identity-management/pim-configure.md) to make a group eligible for a role assignment. Each member of the group is then eligible to activate the role assignment for a fixed time duration.

- Use the new [Exchange admin center](/exchange/exchange-admin-center) for role assignments via group membership. The old Exchange admin center doesn't support this feature. If accessing the old Exchange admin center is required, assign the eligible role directly to the user (not via role-assignable groups). Exchange PowerShell cmdlets will work as expected.

- If an administrator role is assigned to a role-assignable group instead of individual users, members of the group will not be able to access Rules, Organization, or Public Folders in the new [Exchange admin center](/exchange/exchange-admin-center). The workaround is to assign the role directly to users instead of the group.
