I got across this question, is it possible to use an Outlook distribution list as SharePoint security group? Let's say that I have a mail group and I need to use it as the Members group of one of my SharePoint sites.

No this is not possible, you can use AD Users and AD Groups if you do not use a custom Claims-provider

It is not possible to use Outlook distribution list as a SharePoint security group. However you can convert the Outlook distribution list to an Active Directory Security group. Next you can import the Active Directory security group to SharePoint.

Thanks! Sounds as a solution, but how do you convert those lists? I'm not asking for detailed description, but where it should be made? Commented Nov 13, 2013 at 15:11
