Execute 'Site information' (logo, privacy settings) on "Modern" team site requires to be Office 365 Group owner

Site information option in Modern team sites is the way to change the site logo and/or the privacy settings. This menu option + application popup dialog is available for accounts that are Site Collection Administrator (SCA). However, this is not enough. As "only" SCA I get the error "Problem uploading your picture. Please try again later." (see also uservoice on this: "Bug? Uploading team logo does not always work"). It appears that one needs to be an owner of the Office 365 Group that is connected to the Modern team site, then one can successfully change e.g. the site logo. Cause of this behavior is that "SharePoint Online team sites that are connected to an Office 365 group use the same logo as the Office 365 group to which they are connected. When you change the logo for your SharePoint group-connected team site, the logo for the corresponding Office 365 group will change also." (Manage your SharePoint site settings)
