Disconnect Office 365 group from SharePoint Site

Question

Is there still no way to disconnect an O365 group from a SharePoint online site? I've looked online and all indications say no, but want to doublecheck before deleting and recreating.

thank you!

Answer 1

I was recently able to disconnect a few Sharepoint sites from M365 groups by running the below command in a Sharepoint Online Powershell.

Set-SPOSite -Identity <SiteURL> -ClearGroupId

I didn't test any functionality of the site with the group disconnected as my intention was to replace the group which I was able to do with Set-SPOSiteOffice365Group as normal.

Answer 2

Hi @Donald Hendrix ,

Either way, we won't be able to disconnect the O365 group and the SharePoint site. The group must be deleted before the site is deleted, if you try to delete the O365 group, the entire site will also be deleted, this is by design.
