Modern Site from SharePoint Home & Site Settings page

So the site collection created from SharePoint home with Group integration seems to be a somewhat different animal underneath the hood. Looking at Site Settings for this site collection and I can't see for example Site Collection Admins link - presumably because permissions across the group & site are controlled by Office 365 Group Membership.

 

Also I tried to change Regional Settings from US to UK and received "Sorry you don't have access to this page". I was able to send myself (Global Admin) a site access request, which I approved. Still no access.

 

The whole layout of Site Settings is also very different and there are many fewer options. Is this documented anywhere that I can read ?

    • Press either the Files or the Site Group tab on the Group and then click the gear on the top navigation bar and click Site settings

        So that's the modern site settings as I'm describing. Very different from what we have been seeing up until now.
  • Indeed is the same settings page you can see in an Office 365 Group :-) so not so surprising at all
