OneDrive/SharePoint permission problem
Hello, the problem is that we have a user which wants to share file(s) with another user. If he shares the file and he gives him permissions for read and write the he is still not allowed to open it...
This issue is most likely the result of stale or orphaned permissions associated with the users’ previous Azure AD object IDs during their deactivation period. It is not necessary to delete and recreate the accounts. A more effective approach is to re‑establish permissions by using tools such as Check Permissions, removing and re‑adding the users to the relevant site or library, or re‑sharing the affected files so that they inherit updated permissions tied to the current user identity.
