Deleting owners of a security group from organization

Question

I couldn't find the documentation on if we (an admin) can delete the owners of a security group and if we can, what happens if we did delete them from the organization (either through AAD or Microsoft 365 Admin Center). I would really appreciate your help, if you happen to know.
Thanks!

Edited: Here "Deleting" means deleting/removing the user from the organization due to being retired or laid off or left the company.

Answer 1

An Office 365 group is a Security Group within Azure Active Directory.

Groups have their own permission model that comprises the roles Owner and Member.

• Owners: manage the group (e.g. changing titles, managing members and privacy settings)
• Members: collaborate around content (e.g. conversations in Yammer and Outlook, documents within a SharePoint team site)

If the admin deletes the owner of the Security Group, this user no longer has Full permission of this site collection and cannot access the site collection. Unless the admin grants access permission to the user later.

This user no longer has Full permission of this site collection and cannot access the site collection.

Office 365 Groups are a new breed of security groups. It is not just a security group, but a security group with “benefits.”
