    Hi Alice_Hume ,

     

    Go to the SharePoint site owners group in the SharePoint site and make a note of the name of the Security group that is in there <Group Name> Owners .

     

    Add that same group into the SharePoint Members group.

     

    Remove that group from the Owners.

     

    Add your own group or person in.

      Hi Alice_Hume ,

       

      That screen would swap out the owners group but it wouldn't do the other steps I mentioned.
