MicrosoftHi HenricStr,
That's correct. The overall tenant sharing settings must be enabled in order for ANY external sharing to occur. Once they are enabled, every other setting applies further restrictions (such as only allowing the external sharing by specific people). Hope that helps!

i have an issue with this setting.
as soon as i enable it, all external sharing is disallowed, even for users that are members of the specified group. If i disable the setting again, external sharing works.
what could be the issue here?
thanks in advance
- Did you get this figured out?
Two things I figured out are that it has to be a 'Mail-Enabled Security Group' and not just a 'Security Group' and also.... these settings seem to take a WHILE to take effect. 20 minutes or more later, no changes seem to be in place.
It's hard to troubleshoot this altogether when the changes are not only ambiguous (Microsoft's documentation completely fails to explain how it works), but they take long periods of time for minor changes to take effect. This is completely impractical.
