External user with read permission cannot view Site Page of a SharePoint Teams site.
I created a Microsoft Teams-connected SharePoint site primarily for its vertical navigation menu. By default, the site includes three SharePoint groups. I added an external user to the Visitors group, which has Read permissions. The user is able to access the main landing page but encounters a permission issue when trying to view other site pages.
When I share a specific .aspx page with the user, they can access it; however, they are granted Edit permissions instead of Read access.
I tested the same permission settings on a standard SharePoint site, and everything worked as expected. How can I resolve this issue?

Hi, the reason we switched to teams-connected SharePoint site is that it has vertical navigation. Thanks for your feedback.
Did you manage to solve your issue? :)
Hello,
How are the other pages created in this team? Are they based on other channels?
Working with Teams-connected SharePoint sites can be a bit tricky. If the external user is invited through the MS Teams interface, they become members by default. Adding someone directly from the SharePoint site as a reader works, but there is a difference if it has multiple channels in different categories (private/shared).
Is there any reason you would like to use a teams-connected site with the external user?
To resolve this issue, please navigate to the site pages library and identify the .aspx page that the user has edit permissions on. Select that page and see the permissions given.
Yours sincerely,
