Changing the Sharing Property in Site Collections
- https://contoso.sharepoint.com is just a site collection in your tenant where you can setup sharing in the way you need. https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/CustomerA is another site collection where you will need to setup sharing setting again
Thanks jcgonzalezmartin! So if I change the permission for https://contoso.sharepoint.com it doesn't change any other site collections. I was worried there was some type of relationship there like when you have a site / sub-site.
I experimented with another test site in the new admin console and chose; Only people in current organization. No external sharing allowed. I used an external test account to see what would happen if I tried to access it. I received an error when attempting to request access which is good. And better yet, no email was sent to the admin account that a request was made.
Is there anything I can do to stop people from navigating to it altogether? At a minimum hide the request access button?
- You are correct in regards of how sharing setting has to be configured: per site collection basis. Do you mean to stop navigating people to the root site? AFAIK, there is no way to restrict this
jcgonzalezmartin Yes, I would like to stop people from navigating to the root site, but I can understand how that would be impossible. Thank you for your help. I made the change and everything is working how I expected it to. I was too nervous to make the change without asking first.
