Manage default "Permission Levels" by tenant or by bub
Can I manage the default "Permission Levels" settings either by tenant or by a hub level?
My goal is to adjust the default levels for edit (members) and read (visitors), so that I don't have to keep editing these permission levels for every new site I create within the tenant/hub.
I understand what you are trying to do. I think it will come down to a post provisioning step, like running a PnP PowerShell cmdlet to set the custom permission levels.

Are you trying to add users/groups by default (Group1 is always in the Members group) or adjust the permission levels of the default security groups (Members group can only Contribute vs Edit)?

stormin_30 Neither. Let me rephrase:
The default permission levels "Read", "Edit", "Contribute" etc., each have their specific settings (see example screenshot below). If you change the settings for permission level "Read", those changes will ONLY apply for the particular site in question.
In my case, I'm creating a lot of different sites for a hub, and each of these sites should have slightly adjusted settings for "Read" and "Edit". Ideally I'd like to edit/manage the "Read" permission level for all of my sites in one go. I want these permission levels to stay consistent for my different Sharepoint sites, and for any new sites I create.
You can centrally manage visitor permissions within the Hub. See Hub site permissions
for more information.
The edit permissions will be hard to manage and I think you will need to consider a post provisioning step to modify or create the new permission levels.
I hope this helps.
