Why have group owners full control in the SharePoint teamsite
Lets say I create a new Microsoft Team called "MyTest". Now a SharePoint team site will be created in the background with three SharePoint security groups: MyTest Visitors (empty) MyTest Members...
Hi David_Elsner - I just checked a couple of SharePoint site collections tied to Teams. In both cases, there is a "Group Members" listed in the SharePoint members group and a "Group Owners" listed in the Site Collection Administrators. However, the SharePoint Owners group is empty.
Do you see a "MyTest Owners" in the Site Collection Administrators?
Who ever creates a SharePoint site automatically becomes the site collection administrator for the site and as a site collection administrator you have full control on the site.
The owner permission Level allows you to add new users or groups as owners to the site .
If you check the permission on the site level you will see everyone that has permission to the site.
Click on any of the groups and change the last digits on the URL to 0 and enter.
This will give you a display of all user's permissions

- Exactly here is my point. If I go to the site collection administrators, I do not see the Microsoft365 group there. The owners list is just empty... however - this might be, because I look there with the classical experience. Maybe that is not up-to-date...
Hi David_Elsner - what you're seeing isn't the same that I see. My Site Collection Administrators has the Microsoft 365 Group in it (name group + " Owners").
- In the modern admin center I see the same. I was looking in the classical experience. This was my mistake. I think my question is answered... 🙂
