Everyone except external users disappears form Group Visitors
Slightly related to this, I have issue with the "Everyone except external users" on Public groups! I want to make an exception and give them Read permissions. As a result, "Everyone except external users" is stored in the underlying Visitors (Read) group. After a couple of days, "Everyone except external users" is back in the Members group and have back their Edit permissions.
This is not a single event - this is the case for all our Public O365 Groups where we want to give them only Read permissions. Anyone has the same issues on their tenant? Ours is located in W-Europe.
I finally got a confirmation by Microsoft support of this issue where changing permission of "Everyone except external users" from "Edit" to "Read" is change back to "Edit" after a period of time on Public O365 group site.
