MicrosoftUPDATE: Create Office 365 Groups with team sites from SharePoint home moving beyond First Release
We recently completed the worldwide rollout for Office 365 Groups getting full-powered SharePoint team sites at the end of January 2017. Our next step is to now bring the ability to create SharePoin...
Is it also possible to change the site template of the site that is created when you create an Office 365 group? We would like to use Groups (and their related teamsite) for projects, and want to have some default libraries with views and content types on all of the Group-connected teamsites.
Is this possible and if not, will this be possible in the (near) future?

MicrosoftHi Reindert de Kok - no, we don't allow you to change the current template, but we are working out details to customize/extend the template at creation time to better meet your specific business needs. We'll share more details on this front soon. For more detail on what's currently supported to customize the "modern" experiences be sure to check out our recently published series of MSDN articles on this topic: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/pnp_articles/modern-experience-customizations
- Hi Sean,
Has there been any additional info released on this? Or did I miss it on the roadmap?
ThanksTejas Mehtaanother vote for making making Contributors the default for the "members" bucket. People are usually overwhelmed with creating lists / views etc. and I believe it doesn't add anything.
For all the group connected sites we have we already set all member groups to contribute (no additional group).
My vote goes for making Contributor default and creating another - empty - group "Full members" or whatever with member permission. This group could then be filled with Power users who want to create a list or view for other users to enjoy.
