Why does default option sharing OneDrive for Business docs now give link anyone can use to edit?

This is new and is worrying lots of users trying to quickly share docs which the presume will remain confidential within OneDrive for Business

The option to change the permissions for invidivuals has gone from this view.

Hi Christopher-Graves,

 

This looks like a bug; I can reproduce it on my end as well. I'll let the team know and we'll take care of it. In general, we want to give users the ability to change permissions as needed. Thanks!

    Hi Stephen,

    Thank you for sorting this out. It's working in Firefox for me now ;-)

    Hi Mark,

    Thanks for reaching out. This should work using Firefox, let me reach out to the dev team and see if they can reproduce. Thanks!

    Hi Stephen, I work at cardiff with Christopher Graves.
    The Manage Permissions view is not being displayed when the Change Permissions link is clicked when using Firefox version 51. So you cannot change the permisisons for individuals (edit, view, stop sharing) using Firefox. 

    This is working in Google Chrome. Are you experiencing this firefox issue?
    Thanks

    Totally understand, just glad we were able to get it cleared up quickly! If anyone ever has a sharing question, feel free to tag me and I'm happy to help clear things up.

    Thanks!

    That's a relief :-)  You can see why it is hard our end when sometimes changes are by design and at other times by accident.

     

    We noticed the matter resolved yesterday - many thanks Stephen.
