Access the groups.aspx page from a SharePoint O365 Group connected site
Hi, I would like to understand the reason why there is no easy way to access the _layouts/15/groups.aspx page from an O365 Group connected SharePoint site? Why was it hidden from the site settings? ...

- Martin-CoupalDec 04, 2019Iron ContributorThanks for your response!
I just think this is bad design as we are allowed to create other SharePoint groups anyway so why not leave the "users and groups from" site settings?
I hate O365 group permissions as it is very limited so this is why I use extra SP groups... And I'm not a fan to create other sites for other permissions requirements...
Well I'll still have to show the workaround to get access to SP groups to my customers 😞 ...
Thanks.- mchughnFeb 18, 2021Copper Contributor
Martin-Coupal I agree this is bad design.
We have subfolders in our site that we want to grant access to people who are members of our larger organization (a college) not members of our main team (housing department).
I've created a group for each folder, but finding the location to manage group membership is confusing.
