SharePoint Default Groups ID
Are the IDs of the SharePoint Owners, Members and Visitors groups supposed to always be 3 for owners, 4 for visitors and 5 for members? I have a customer where these ID are not the same since the begining of the week (5 for visitors and 6 for members) for new created sites. Is this a normal behavior?
I've changed the provisioning power automate to use the _api/web?$select=AssociatedMemberGroup/Id&$expand=AssociatedMemberGroup instead of harcoding the group ID but I'm just wondering if this is normal or an issue from Microsoft.
Thanks!
Martin-Coupal Yes, it is a normal behavior in SharePoint. Not all site's default groups have their IDs as 3, 4 and 5.
I have observed the same in my SharePoint tenant. Group IDs for default site groups are different for different sites.

- Ok, thanks, still it is hard to explain why most of the time it is 3,4,5 but sometimes it is different. Probably because of asynchronous provisioning of groups...
