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...

That is accurate. And I whole-heartedly agree with bumping it down to contribute. We do that manually right now.

Hi Brent Ellis, When you say manually do you mean you set the default when you provision the Group e.g. via powershell? Would love to know :)
- Brent EllisFeb 06, 2017Silver ContributorNah, straight up manually, navigate to user.aspx and click change permission
It is ironic though, with all the user interface changes "taking away" capabilities from site admins, why not load down the regular members with more than they need- Damien FloodFeb 06, 2017Iron ContributorThanks! Good to know I can change it even manually :/ hope they address this in the future.
- Brent EllisFeb 22, 2017Silver ContributorSo......I can now no longer change the default Group membership permissions
It appears that Group Members, Group Owners, and Group Visitors is totally locked down, and can't modify permissions at all.
Guess it was just a matter of time....neutering the sharepoint sites continues
