Once you've successfully created the admin and user groups, kindly notify us of the group names by sending an email to support@spaceconnect.co. This will allow us to promptly update your account settings to align with the designated group.

Should you ever need to update the names of your groups in Space Connect due to changes in O365, simply navigate to the Space Connect Admin Portal. Click on "Configuration," and then select "Setup." Look for the green tick, indicating that the groups are successfully syncing.
