    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.

Easier! Should have look at admin centers first. New features are coming every hour :)

    Martin-Coupalvery true, and many are unannounced. I noticed that a while ago when I was trying to fix a problem caused by someone on my customers team that did not understand what they were doing with a script  (:

      Dean_GrossThank you! 

       

      Here is the feature Dean was referring to in reconnecting O365 group owners as site collection admins.

       

       

      @Martin Coupal  I tried the method you mentioned and I was still experiencing issues where members still had site collection administration access.  The steps Dean mention and clicking on the message "add the group owners as admins" takes care of the issue.  I appreciate you offering your help as well!  Anything helps.

        ChrisFicek  I'm having the same issue as you but using Dean_Gross fix by adding the group owners as admin from the admin centre is again making the "Members" group show up under Site collection administrators, instead of "Owners" group.

        Is that what you experienced as well?

         

        This is weird that we can't add the "Owners" group again by simply searching for it!

         

        Thanks
