Hello All,
I just learned how to restore the deleted default SharePoint access groups: Owners, Members, Visitors. For those still looking for a way to do this: just open <siteurl>/_layouts/15/permsetup.aspx, and you will be offered to create them or select existing ones. Click OK and you are done.
The part I am stuck is, how to assign these groups to the items with broken inheritance? I have already pulled a report and identified 39 items (files and folders) with custom permissions, do I just go to each and assign the 3 groups, or is there a better way to do it?
I appreciate your help in this.
Regards,
Adrian

@Adrian Urgyan a huge thank you! Our site-wide permissions were borked and your note made all the difference in restoring things back to normal!

@Adrian Urgyan It will help only if we delete the group from Site permissions, I hope it is not possible if we delete the group from people and groups.

If you choose Stop Sharing for the Visitors group in a folder's Manage Access panel the group is deleted from the folder. To restore it:
The panel doesn't update automatically. Close it and reopen the Manage Access panel and Visitors is restored.
