How do you remove the Edit link from the navigation bar in a modern SharePoint site that is linked to Teams? If I give the user Visitor permissions instead of Member, the Edit link goes away, but they no longer see the Team in Teams.

    Rather than assigning people the Visitors permissions, you can change the permissions settings for Members. This page has a great explainer (it's a little old, so there may be an extra link to click here or there, but it's fairly straight forward): How to prevent team site members from editing SharePoint pages

    Hi @Ryan Fitzemeyer ，

    As we are in modern experience, you can use Contribute permission level. In fact, the only difference between Contribute and Edit will be the permission of “Manage List”, and this permission provides the ability to edit navigation links. More information here.

    The issue has been solved. Resolved this by removing all accounts from the Group, then adding back in Everyone except external users. Then I changed the permissions from the Permissions slice on the modern SharePoint site from Edit (site members) to Read (site visitors).
