Anonymous Sharing not working with Communication sites
We're starting to roll out some Communication sites, however it looks like it is currently impossible to enable Anonymous sharing links: I get the following error when I try to set anonymous sha...

Have you added everyone in your tenant to "First Release - Select User"??
I have been playing around with Comms sites, but everyone who I send a link to who isn't in "First Release - Select User" get very strange rendering and pages aren't usable, so I guess the First Release group isn't just to get access to "create a site" it's to actually get access to web resources also.... Can anyone confirm this??

Yep, there are certain first release web parts and changes that are visible to none first release users, others that aren't.
Essentially rendering communication sites and the web parts that came with only usable for test purposes at the moment.
We're going to wait until everything is fully released before considering making sites for everyone to see.

- Warwick WardJul 12, 2017Bronze ContributorI think what I mentioned is an issue being investigated as stated my Bruno above, I think being in first release just gives you the option to create the new sites, everyone should be able to browse a created one
- Andrew SilcockJul 12, 2017Iron ContributorI'm not convinced everyone should be able to browse, for example, when I tested the grey bar removal. Only first release customers could see that it wasn't there, everyone else could still see it. Maybe this is a bug, I just assumed this is the way it is until it's released to everyone.

same behaviour over here. Been testing in multiple tenants.
Tried powershell to enable external sharing, no success.
Adding external users to the group of selected users for first release won't work.
Changing the release ring to first release for all users didn't do the trick.
I even tried adding AllUsers to the visitors for instance but even that wasn't working.
Would love to see a solution for my test drive
