Difference between adding a owner trough O365 groups or SharePoint online
Hi All, I have a question regarding the difference between adding a user as owner trough O365 groups (admin portal) or adding it via the SharePoint online website. Example: I have a SPO Team...
My two cents here:
1) If you add the user as an Owner in the Group, access to the SPO Site linked to the Group is granted by the Group Membership so the user will automatically become a Site Owner but also a Site Collection Admin
2) If you add the user in the Owners Group in the SPO site, SPO is granting access to the site as owner to the user but the user will not have access to conversations or other Group Stuff

Thanks for your reply, in this example I am not adding the user to the owner group in SPO. But I go to:
https://portal.office.com -> Groups -> Groups and add the user as owner in this group.
Maybe it's because when adding it as member in SPO that it becomes a member and a owner?
