# Impact on the SharePoint permissions after connecting your site to an Office 365 group
9+
10+
As part of the connection to an Office 365 Group the site's permissions will also be connected to the Office 365 group's permissions. This process **will not take away any granted permission on the SharePoint site**, but will allow the Office 365 group owners and members to have access to the connected SharePoint site.
11+
12+
- The Office 365 Group Owners get connected to both the site collection administrators as the site owners group: everyone who’s Office 365 group owner also has site collection admin permissions on the SharePoint site
13+
- The Office 365 Group members get connected to the site members group: everyone who’s Office 365 group member is has the permissions which are granted to the SharePoint site’s Members group
14+
- Any other permissions granted on the SharePoint site stay as is (so for example viewers will still have view access, broken permission inheritance stays working as is,…)
15+
- Permissions “flow” from the Office 365 group to SharePoint: adding a person to the Office 365 Owners group will also make that person an Owner (even Administrator) of the SharePoint site
16+
- There a no permissions “flowing back” to the Office 365 Group: if you add a person to the SharePoint Owners group then that person is not an Owner of the group

## Technical implementation
21+
22+
Each Office 365 Group has an unique id represented as a guid (e.g e79452da-a8cf-47c5-afbf-83c8704867c2). This guid is used to construct 2 claims:
23+
24+
- e79452da-a8cf-47c5-afbf-83c8704867c2_o: this claim represents the Office 365 Group owners
25+
- e79452da-a8cf-47c5-afbf-83c8704867c2: this claim represents the Office 365 Group members
26+
27+
These claims are added to the SharePoint site according to below logic:
28+
29+
- The e79452da-a8cf-47c5-afbf-83c8704867c2 claim (so the Office 365 Group members) is added as a **visible** claim to the site's members group having as title your site's name
30+
- The e79452da-a8cf-47c5-afbf-83c8704867c2_o claim (so the Office 365 Group owners) are added as **hidden** claims to the site's owners group and site collection administrators
