Office 365 Groups Permission confusion
Hey there,
well I don´t know how to describe it other than "confused" :) I am a company administrator for the small tenant of our company. We were using Sharepoint Online for a few years now. But recently we decided to use MS Teams and Office 365 Groups. So one of my users set up all the Teams and assigend owner permissions to my user.
As I try to customize the SPO -Sitecollection of the Office 365 Group I encounter several "Access denied" Messages.
What I can do on the Sitecollection:
- Create Subsites
- Enable some Features (e.g. Enable Documents Sets or Minimal download strategy)
- Manage Permissions for Users
What I can´t do (Access denied):
- Edit the Navigation settings (Site Settings => Navigation)
- Update all subscribed content types from CT-Hub
I really do not see a pattern here. Maybe you can give me some insights?
Thank you

The three "standard" security groups (owners, members, and visitors) should be managed only using the Groups UI and Groups PowerShell cmdlets.
Have you perhaps modified directly the owners group?

Whoa that was quick :)
The three security groups are as they were on group creation (as far as I know) so visitors and owners are empty and in memers is the O365 group itself.
What do you exactly mean by "Groups UI"? I was using the Azure AD (https://aad.portal.azure.com)
- Salvatore BiscariSilver Contributor
OK, that's fine. I should have written "Groups UIs", meaning all the standard UIs by which is possible to manage Groups membership, including the AAD portal.
Maybe jcgonzalezmartin can help you...
