For group integration, does SP site need to be a subsite of main tenant Site Collection?
I read that now we will have the choice to select if we want to create a group associated with our site when we generate a site. The question I have is if this needs to go through the Waffle Menu --> Sharepoint -->"+" sign/create site button --> (enter info), OR if I can generate and associate a group even if creating a subsite of a completely different collection on the same tenant.
(BTW the automatic group creation still doesn't work for me...no option in sharepoint settings but that is another issue. Yes I am on selective FR.)
- Ok...the right statement would be: admins will be able to selectively upgrade existing team sites (Site Collection scope, no subsite scope)...and I'm talking here about linking a Team Site (A Site collection behind the scenes) with a Group...if you are talking about subsites, you will have there modern pages and all the new cool UI stuff..but not a Group...the Group is already linked at the root site

- IMHO, the answer is "Yes" and you will always create a Site Collection linked to a Group or viceversa, but not a single subsite
- Interesting. Ok. That seems sensible. The reason I ask is because the current behavior is that a subsite of our main site is generated when using the "+" sign. Are you saying that if/when I finally get the ability to associate new site creation with a new group (i.e. New site -> asked if I want a new group, not the reverse), then this site will actually be in its own site collection just like current group sites (although hidden) are?
- Yes, that's what I'm saying...you will see that the creation experience is completely different and you will have to use a wizard for creating a Modern Team Site and the related Group
