In Sharepoint Online, I want to restrict access to a subsite.

I have removed inheritance for the subsite and added a special group as contributors.

Now I need to remove the normal contributor group, but the button to do that "Remove User Permissions" is disabled:

enter image description here

I am Global Sharepoint admin. I am also member of the Owners group on the root site. Also, I have given Global Sharepoint admins Full control over the subsite:

Site Collection Administrators looks like this: enter image description here

These are my Admin roles - I don't have Global Administrator checked, could this be the problem? enter image description here

Even on the root site, the story is the same. The Modify buttons are disabled.

Why can't I use the Modify buttons?

  • Why don't you delete default Contributors group if you don't need it?

  • I need it on the rest on the site, just not the subsite.

Can you edit items in a list?

Make sure you have checked the group which you want to move:

  • That's it. After I set the checkmark in the list, the buttons became enabled.

Add your global Admin as Site collection admin. it should work.As a Global Admin you will not have direct access to all site collection.

  • My name is listed under "Site collection administrators". Should the global sharepoint admin group be added as well?
