Setting "Anyone" share link permissions on individual sites in Sharepoint
- The script updates the setting only for existing sites.
- Correct.
Thanks for the response, Andrew Mueller
When I go to the Admin center, I can not see the sites I have created in that interface.
All I see if this, the default sharepoint collections, I suppose:
When I search on the URL depicted below, it tells me it can not find the site, although it does exist.
Why can I not see my sites (as depicted above) in the Collections tab?
Thanks!
In the SPO Admin Center, you don't see the site collections connected to Groups (aka Modern Team Sites) and, indeed, those site collections are not enabled for anonymous sharing, by default.
In order to enable them (which at the moment could be done only by PowerShell) see the Office 365 Groups section in https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Turn-external-sharing-on-or-off-for-SharePoint-Online-6288296a-b6b7-4ea4-b4ed-c297bf833e30#ID0EAABAAA=Office_365_Groups
Hope it helps...
Thanks Salvatore Biscari, good point. The new SPO Admin Center has the new modern site collections on it, but I have not heard an ETA for GA. The preview right now shows all of them but there are very few controls yet.
Thanks for the reply Salvatore Biscari.
In the documentation you reference, there is a script that will "Updating the sharing setting for all sites in a tenant."
Two Questions, if I may:
1) Will this modify the sharing setting for all current and FUTURE sites, or would this need to be run again when new sites are created?
2) Just to be clear, the parameter ExternalUserAndGuestSharing is the one that will turn on anonymous sharing permissions (Anyone), correct?
Thanks again,
Ken
