How can I restrict access using groups for a new member on a Business plan?
With the Business Plan, I have two groups. Group 1 is for everyone that is a member. Group 2 is limited. How do I set up access to add a new member so that they are not automatically added as Group 1...

Dropbox StaffHi sammybloomberg, thanks for messaging the Community!
By default, when a new user is added to the 'Everyone at' group, however, you can remove that group from the user and choose Group 2 instead.
Depending on your sharing permissions, you might be able to share a link to the folder in question, which won't require that person to be a member of your team.
If you need any further assistance, please let me know!
Thank you Jay. I cannot remove the person from Group 1 as for some reason, I am not a adminstrator. Please advise.

As the default group is a company-managed group, then it wouldn't be possible for non-admins to remove users from the group.
You'll need to get the admin to remove that user from the group. You can read up more about groups from this page.
This group was created automatically and includes invited members. How do I add myself as a admin of the group is it currently has no admin.

Only the team admin can make other users an admin for security purposes. Is the team admin using a company email?
If so, you could ask your IT team to temporarily reactivate that email to make you an admin.
