I don't 100% follow your last point, but the tenant admin can tweak the sharing settings. On the SharePoint service administration page (https://[tenant]-admin.sharepoint.com), click Sharing on the left.

    Thanks paulschaeflein,

     

    It was in relation to users being able to invite others to Office 365 groups (not a sharepoint , not sure if you can control group invites from SP admin). Sorry if i'm not clear as I am still struggling with permissions etc.

     

    Cheers

        Thanks Paul,

        Within the SP admin which setting should I enable/disable to restrict users from having the ability of inviting others within the organization to groups?

        Cheers
