MicrosoftHi Brent, some responses inline:
Will there be a way to disable the SharePoint site if a group is created?
- Will there be a way to disable the O365 Group is a SharePoint site is created? [TM] It will still be possible to create SharePoint site collections that are not connected to an Office 365 Group if that is what you require
- Can you change the Groups permissions on the SharePoint site - like the Group only has Read access to the actuall Group SharePoint Site, or it could be removed all together technically? [TM] We are currently building a simplified group site permissions UX that will allow group (site) owners to change the permission level for group members in the site (e.g. from Edit to Read Only). From this experience we will also provide a way to get to the 'classic' SharePoint site permissions page where you can do more advanced role/permission mapping. We're still working through some of the details and will share more in the coming weeks.
There isn't currently a UX that allows for the selective turning on or off of specific workloads within an Office 365 group though. Good feedback for us to consider, however.
