Why don't O365 Groups (SharePoint) respect Global Admin / SharePoint Admin settings?
Confirmed it worked
Even things like changing regional settings from the UI get access denied as a SCA. Lots of work to rationalize what "really" is this restricted Group SharePoint site versus an actual SharePoint site
Please, can you share how did you confirm it worked, exactly?
I am under the impression that it appears to work but t doesn't actually work...
- I mean it gave the user access to the SharePoint site, but it is a limited admin capability. Like you have mentioned, some things you can do, and others you can't, which doesnt make sense to me. An admin should be an admin.
BTW, is Get-SPOUser working for you?
- Just started a session in Office 365 with the user that previously could not access to the Group site and once the user is granted as a site collection administrator, he/she can browse the site with no problems
Mmm...weird, I'm not having this problem...there are some other folks seeing this same problem ( Salvatore Biscari) I have just done an experiment consisting on adding as site collection admin a user that it's not event a member of the group and It worked like a charm...I think we are missing here a practical guidance of what can / should be done in regards of security in Groups...it's not enough to hide administrative options for people like us cc cfiessinger
