This "Allow Everyone (authenticated)" is not available in our tenant. Problem?

    No, it is not a problem that the "Everyone (authenticated)" option isn't available. In fact, it's expected behavior because "NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users" is not a valid security group in SharePoint Online. The modern equivalent you should use instead is "Everyone except external users".

    Group Name

    What It Includes

    SharePoint Online Availability

    Everyone except external users

    All internal licensed users in your tenant

    Always available

    Everyone

    All authenticated users + external guests who have accepted invitations

    Controlled by Set-SPOTenant -ShowEveryoneClaim

    NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users

    Legacy on-premises group

    Not available/valid

    All Users (Windows)

    Federated domain users

    Not recommended for SPO

    The absence of "NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users" is not a problem or misconfiguration—it's simply a design difference between on-premises SharePoint and SharePoint Online. Use "Everyone except external users" for your template library permissions, and you'll be following Microsoft's recommended best practice.
