Currently I've been a group owner and have full control permission and I want to add a user to my group, but when I try to add it, I'm facing some issues that I don't have access and I cannot navigate to the site permissions even though the menu is there.

Is there any recommendation to solve this issue and speculation for the root cause?

I would be happy if I could discuss it.

  • Which version of SharePoint are you using? Are you site collection admin for this site? Do you see "New" button inside the group or unable to access the group itself?

  • Are you able to open the group settings? There is an option like this: Who can edit the membership of the group? which indicates who can add users in the group. Let me know if this works for you.

  • yeah i'm able to open group settings, but not for site permission, option to "Who can edit the membership of the group" is only group owner. and I don't want to change it to group member
