Best Practices for Permissions on an O365 Group SharePoint Site
So it seems that you can break permissions of individual lists/libraries/items, but you can't actually set permissions on the site as a whole? Am I missing something when looking at configuring gene...

I am not sure why but I don't see the note "To view or change the group members..." as you have indicated in your screenshot. But that apart, the outlook interface will only allow us to add members to the group which are directly added to the AD group.
Now that we have a full team site, people are going to want to manage permissions directly in team site on the list, libraries etc or for that matter provide access to the users to only READ the content. I was trying something similar and was baffled to see the owners group empty.

- For managing permissions, you can use (with care!) the hidden page https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/group/_layouts/15/user.aspx. But, while there, leave alone the standard groups!
- In the "Site permissions" pane, under the cog menu in the connected team site, you can safely change the default permissions for the standard groups.
- In the OWA UI, you can safely manage the standard groups membership: add members, remove members, promote members to owners, demote owners to members etc. The same can be done in the "Group membership" pane in the connected team site. And the same can be done also by PowerShell.
