I'm afraid no one setting is going to work for every customer. After this we will have to add switching it back to external sharing with people in our directory. 

 

For Groups sites we already have concerns at the lack of customisation options. . 

 

 

Being able to specify a template to a Sharepoint site when it is created by groups looks to be a required feature. To allow each organisation to configure the sites as it requires. Obviously there are reasons certain things cannot be configured or they will break. Having some options would be useful though. 

 

For example

Giving group owners full control permission to a site and not allowing a restruiction in permission levels. I realise they need full control to add members permissions. However it also gives them the ability to modify the site away from corporate settings and worse add infopath forms.

 

Just my $00.02.
