If a Google Drive shared folder or document grants edit access to everyone in a Google Group, is it possible to restrict an individual member of that Group to view-only access?

If I:

  1. Grant Can organize, add, and edit rights to a Google Group, and
  2. Grant Can view only rights to a specific person,

Does #2 override or add to the #1 access rights granted?

Does #2 override or add to the #1 access rights granted?

No.

The only way is by removing that user from the group or to create a new group with the same members except the user that should not have edit access.
