Question

I have a simple query. I am Site collection administrator in one SharePoint SC. I created a group as SCA with owner permission. I have an ID which is added to the group by Me . Now when I try to edit permission of another group created by my ID using the other ID it says "You do not have access to view the permissions of this group." So does it mean if a SCA creates a group even an owner of that site will not be able to view or edit the permissions of those groups? Please mind this is only OOB. Any suggestion of why this is and if we can grant permissions to the owners to be able to edit the permissioning of these kind of groups.

Was it helpful?

Solution

You need to add created SCA group as Group owner for newly created SharePoint Permission group. Then only user in SCA group will able edit permission.

Site Action --> Site Setting --> People and Groups under Users and Permissions --> Groups ( will be available in left panel).

There you can edit newly crated group and then add SCA as group owner.

Hope this helps !

OTHER TIPS

That may be only because of this setting when you create the group?
