Site Permissions>>Invite People>>Add Members to Group not working?
- Jun 19, 2018
What do you mean exactly with "admin access"?
A global admin or Exchange admin can add members to a Group in the Office 365 admin center.
As a global admin or Exchange admin, do you see the user among the Group members / owners?
Is the user able to add other members through OWA?
Also, any member of a group can invite others to the group, but the process for inviting people to join a group is a little different for public groups than for private groups. Private groups require owner approval before the invitee is allowed to join.
Everything as usual here...
Can you share a screenshot?
Every other group I have works fine, except this one.
Here's what happens normally.
We get the green button to Add members to a group.
With the one group I'm having this problem with, I don't see the green button. I have the same permissions on both groups.

A couple of questions:
- Is it a public or a private Group?
- Are you a member of that Group?
- Can you add members to that Group using OWA?

It's a private group. I have admin access and I see what you're getting at. I'm not a member, and I can't add through OWA. But the user I am working with is a Member/Owner. He appears in the list when I click on Site Permissions. I also added him to the Owner group under Advanced Permissions for the site. He is still not seeing the button to add members.
