Group owner as global admin
- Jun 20, 2019
This is expected behavior. To delete a plan (or group), you should have been already added as owner of the group. You can't delete the plan without being a owner of the group even though you have Global Admin privilege.
Since you have global admin privilege, you can easily add yourself as owner of the group using the Exchange Online powershell cmdlet https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchange/users-and-groups/add-unifiedgrouplinks?view=exchange-ps and try again.
$userToAddOwner = "globaladmin@yourdomain.com"
Add-UnifiedGroupLinks –Identity "O365Group" –LinkType Owners –Links $userToAddOwner
