Adding members to SharePoint Group
Sure 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 ?
go to Site Settings > Site permissions. In the menu at the top, find the button for Access Request settings. Make sure the top TWO boxes are UNCHECKED - the ones that say "allow members to share..." this is the old school version of what ganeshsanap suggested.
Make sure to check the next box to allow access requests and that you are in the designated owner group.
You will then need to clean your site to remove sharing links and restore inherited permissions for all the ITEMS.
This will ensure that when your members share content with someone who does not currently HAVE access, that new person will get "Access Denied" and the option to send you a message requesting access. In the email will be a large ACCEPT link. If you have set a default group, the accept link will add the person to that group. I have intentionally NOT set a default group which requires users to go to site settings, CHOOSE a group and manually add the person.
