How to use SharePoint Groups in Team Sites
Utilizing SharePoint groups to secure content for a specific set of users on a site is a very common scenario.
We use this as a best practice for keeping track of who has access to content that breaks inheritance from the site.
The "People and Groups" link no longer shows up on the site settings page, for Team Sites (after going to "advanced"
Is this part of a significant change in how to manage the need to have different permission on specific content?
Or am I missing something?
This is a huge issue IMHO on how we manage content on Team sites.
Eric Adler while it isn't shown in the Settings page anymore, you can still get to the People and Groups page of any site by appending "_layouts/15/groups.aspx" to its URL.
Example: https://sitename.sharepoint.com/sites/teamname/_layouts/15/groups.aspx
From here you can add/remove/modify SharePoint Security Groups like you are accustomed too.

- The access to the team sites is based upon the membership of the office 365 group! You can alter read / write for them or add sharepoint groups to the site
adam deltinger The use case, however, is extending the site permissions beyond the group. In an Office 365 group, you have the ability to apply permissions to the group OR the site only. This makes the site more flexible. I would expect the site to work like any site, but I cannot find where to manage SharePoint groups.
- Go to advanced permissions! From there you can add any sharepoint group
