Adding members to SharePoint Group
johnnb In order to prevent members from adding another users to group, follow below steps:
- Go to site permissions (<siteUrl>/_layouts/15/user.aspx)
- Click on the group name
- Click Settings and then Group Settings --> You can see this option under group name and after "New" & "Actions" option.
- Put your name in Group Owner field.
- Set Who can edit the membership of the group? to Group Owner (Refer below image).
This way only owner (you) can add/delete users from this particular group. However, members still can view other members in group.

I tried this, I am clearly the OWNER of the site but other MEMBERS of the site can still add people to the site inside the organization.. what am I missing?
johnnb Hello,
Could you send a picture of your configuration as Ganesh shared above?Really strange if the setting is set to Group Owner. Please send an image and verify that the issue still exists, and I will look further into it.
Yours sincerely,
Aref HalmstrandSure The user that is the owner is named Copier but any member of the organization can still add members inside the org.. shouldn't that just work for the owner which is Copier ?
