Office 365 Group sites & Approval

[Myles Gallagher]

So microsoft has announced for some time now that they will be building some Flow actions to integrate with the built-in SharePoint content approval system.  This is great, but It leaves me with a few questions.

How are permissions like this handled in "Group" sites?  Old SharePoint had fine-grained and managed "permission groups".  You could grant people permissions needed to approve/reject items at a very detailed level.  I dont need that level of granularity here; are "Group Owners" (by default have site full control) the "Approvers" of content?

That is correct, owners are actually site collection admins so they have even more than full control technically :P. But Members are just typical edit rights etc. You can always change it to how you want. But the default sharepoint groups "Owners, Members, Visitors" the member office 365 group basically gets added to the members sharepoint group. Owners go to site collection admins.

You can always still use the existing permissions etc. to overwrite or change that around as you wish.
