Restore default SharePoint groups (Owners, Members, Visitors)
Hello All, I just learned how to restore the deleted default SharePoint access groups: Owners, Members, Visitors. For those still looking for a way to do this: just open <siteurl>/_layouts/15/per...
If you choose Stop Sharing for the Visitors group in a folder's Manage Access panel the group is deleted from the folder. To restore it:
- Return to the folder's Manage Access panel.
- Click the + button to the right of "Direct Access".
- In the name control type the Share Point name "(space) Visitors" (i.e. eRoom Evaluation Visitors). It should appear in a list of selections.
- Select the access Edit/View.
- Click Grant Access.
The panel doesn't update automatically. Close it and reopen the Manage Access panel and Visitors is restored.
