Default groups in SharePoint Online - All Users (windows), Everyone, Everyone except external users
Hi All,
When I go the this url, sitename/_layouts/15/groups.aspx
I can see it lists down the default groups (owners, members, visitors) but I can see below additional entries:
- All Users(windows)
- Everyone
- Everyone except external users
Please can anyone help me understand the impact if the above entries are deleted, or what is the purpose why Microsoft is adding them by default?
Any inputs or references are appreciated.
Thanks
Hello JinTha
the URL /_layouts/15/groups.aspx will show you an overview with all users and groups, they have permission to the site, an list/library or an element, direct or oven an other group.
The URL /_layouts/15/user.aspx will show you the effective permissions on your site. On top you have the option check permission, checkt, where the group have access.
If you delete a user from the group, you can't see the user under /_layouts/15/user.aspx, but you can see it under /_layouts/15/groups.aspx, but he has no permissions.
Hope this help.
Best, Dave
- Hi Dave, thanks for the response but I am already aware of the information you shared with me.
I need to understand the impact of deleting the mentioned claims/attribute.
Thanks,

i guess if you remove them at the site level, you won't have any other impact. If you add them again at a later time, they will be listed again.
My recommendation: Test it!
Best, Dave
