Best Practices for Permissions on an O365 Group SharePoint Site
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

Yes, it is.
See "Manage external sharing for Office 365 Group site collections" in https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Manage-external-sharing-for-your-SharePoint-Online-environment-c8a462eb-0723-4b0b-8d0a-70feafe4be85?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US

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?
