Add O365 Group Owner to Site Collection Administration List
I am struggling a little to find an answer for re-adding O365 group owner to site collection administration list. Typically, when a new team site is created, O365 group owner is automatically added ...
ChrisFicekin the new SPO admin center, select the site, then look at the info panel, if the group is disconnected from the owner role, a message box will show up with a link to reconnect it.
Dean_GrossThank you!
Here is the feature Dean was referring to in reconnecting O365 group owners as site collection admins.
@Martin Coupal I tried the method you mentioned and I was still experiencing issues where members still had site collection administration access. The steps Dean mention and clicking on the message "add the group owners as admins" takes care of the issue. I appreciate you offering your help as well! Anything helps.
Normally it is because the group.members were in site collection admin. This is misleading as the name they use for the members and the owner display the same in SharePoint. One way to be sure is to use the method I showed to display the account information (as both name are the same). But easy fix provided by Dean!
