MicrosoftUPDATE: Create Office 365 Groups with team sites from SharePoint home moving beyond First Release
I'm trying to do step 4 in your post but not having much success in deleting the 'Foo' group from the 'Foo Members' SP group. In 'Site Settings - People and Groups - Foo Members' UI, the 'Foo' group can't be selected like any other group member as the checkbox is grayed out. I've also tried creating a new 'TestGroup' and adding 'Foo' as member with the same issue - checkbox grayed out preventing member from being deleted. From the Sharepoint mgmt shell I've tried the following command:
Remove-SPOUser -LoginName foo@company.com -Site https://<orgid>.sharepoi
nt.com/sites/<foo> -Group "TestGroup"
For LoginName, I've also tried the Foo group GUID given by:
Get-SPOUser -Site https://<orgid>.sharepoint.com/sites/<foo>
They both return the error "Remove-SPOUser : The user does not exist or is not unique."
Could you please point me in the right direction to delete the group from group membership?
MicrosoftHi Proliance - there is a pending fix to the problem you're seeing where the remove action is greyed out for the member claim. Until that fix shows up in your environment, there is a workaround. From the modern permission panel, simply move the group members from Edit to Read. Then, make sure that the member claim is added to the new SP group you created with the 'Contribute' permissions.
Net effect will be what you desire. You will see members have 'read' permissions in the modern panel, but under the covers they actually have 'Contribute' from the addition to the new SP group.
- Thanks for the info Tejas. The one tenant we manage has yet to receive the modern permission panel update as they're on Standard Release. I do see the panel in our own First Release tenant environment though and it's great - really appreciate these recent updates!
We'll wait on the rollout of the updates. Thanks again!It looks like when I do this my settings for allowing external users does not follow into the Team group/Sharepoint Site setup. I am unable to add external users any which way.
The default for Groups is Allow sharing only with the external users that already exist in your organization’s directory. You can change the default using PowerShell.
