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...

Nah, 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

Thanks! 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- Feb 22, 2017I'm with you in this perception....also trying to look for workarounds seems not be the right thing to do. But I'm still missing what are the plans of Microsoft in regards of what can be done and can't be done when defining the security to access to a modern team site or a Group site

Also discovered the same...might be the fact that that default permission of "edit" for members may tie in closley with the other services so changing it might cause implications.
I hope they address this soon as it will become difficult to manage.
Another question, is it possible to turn external sharing on or off for individual site collections which were created as part of a group? Since the collection does not appear in the SP admin site collections possible via Powershell maybe?
Cheers
