Add O365 Group Owner to Site Collection Administration List
- Apr 05, 2019
ChrisFicekin the new SPO admin center, select the site, then look at the info panel, if the group is disconnected from the owner role, a message box will show up with a link to reconnect it.
@Chris Ficek No idea what kind of bug hapened, but running the Get-SPOUser command shows that both groups (with or without _o at the end of GUID) gets the same display name of "XXX Members", whereas for other sites it shows "XXX Members" and "XXX Owners":
As you can see, the "XXX Members" group is part of SP Members and SP Owners, that's because I have tried forcing the GUID ending "_o" into the SP Owners group to see if it would at least get the right group as owner in the background, even with wrong display name, but unfortunately it picks the "XXX Members" one.
Is there a way to rename the group ending "_o" to "XXX Owners" in your mind? Or any sollution comes to your mind with this added info?
Your help is very much appreciated
Thanks
Charlotte
CharlotteDessertenne I am not familiar in renaming the permission group name with PowerShell. Sorry, I wished I could help you there.

CharlotteDessertenne If you created and added another security group to the site collection admin, I think it should be fine.

ChrisFicek No problem, Chris, thanks for trying! 🙂
Maybe someone passing by will have an idea, otherwise I'll just leave the site as is with the current set up which is not ideal but does work
Thanks
