Kelly_Edinger Hi, thank you for your reply.

External users are not permitted to share. Only Admin users within a security group at AD have permission to share.

I have attached a screenshot of the current settings.

The problem I have is if users are added to the top site so they can rightly access standard documentation, policies etc they can view all users of that site by clicking on the 'Share' icon at the top of the screen. An option is to email 'everyone'!!

How can I provide access to standard documents for all clients without them seeing who else has access?

Spidermonkey168 - oh ok, I don't see that option on any of my sites. I know it's not ideal, but could you use CSS to hide the share button?

HIKelly_Edinger ,

This certainly is an idea. Do I need a developer to modify in CSS? I would need just the root site changed to remove the share button.

  Spidermonkey168 - yes, that's likely needed. it's not like the old days when we could just add a web part and add our CSS and be done. Check out https://tahoeninjas.blog/2018/10/29/update-inject-custom-css-on-sharepoint-modern-pages-using-spfx-application-extensions/
