Everyone external Share permission in SharePoint Online per note from MS Support
We have enacted the following instructions in SharePoint Online to enable the Anyone external sharing option.
We received a note from MS Support saying that in late March, the Everyone sharing option would be changed. See information here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4089534/how-to-grant-the-everyone-claim-to-external-users-in-office-365
We are unfamiliar with the Everyone setting.
I simply would like to confirm that the changes we enacted to enable Anyone external sharing will still be functional past the March 23 date mentioned in that communication.
Thanks all.
Anonymous sharing will continue to work as usual.
We have already discussed it: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Office-365/Will-anonymous-external-sharing-be-disabled-New-ways-to-govern/m-p/164890#M11087
What about the case for SharePoint Sites where Everyone has been used inside SharePoint Groups to grant everyone including External users access/permissions to the site?
Checking our Tenant via Get-SPOTenant PowerShell command the "ShowEveryoneClaim" property is already set to True without any action from us.
So will we and any other Tenant administrator still be impacted on the After March 23 change?
Either run the PowerShell cmdlets like
Set-SPOTenant -ShowAllUsersClaim $true
Or implement an ADD Groups approach?
If this has already been discussed in other threads I hope you can redirect me to it since I didn't find it..."After this date [March 23, 2018], an external user will see only the content that’s shared with that user or with groups to which the user belongs. External users will no longer see content that’s shared with Everyone, All Authenticated Users, or All Forms Users. By default, content that’s granted permissions to these groups will be visible only to your organization's users."
So, the article is clear. (see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4089534/how-to-grant-the-everyone-claim-to-external-users-in-office-365)
But I understand that in your tenant the "ShowEveryoneClaim" property is already set to True without any action from you, hence you want to know what will happen after March 23, 2018.
StephenRice surely knows the answer...
Thanks so much!
