How to change default sharing permission

Hi ,

How do i change the default permission when  an item is shared with someone else. It defaults to edit. I want it to default to view:

Permissions
SharePoint Online

    This can only be set org wide, the settings are on sharing tab in SharePoint admin center, also in OneDrive.

      Hi Chris,

      Thanks for the quick response. I did set that and it has no effect on the sharing dialog I showed in my screenshot.  On that admin page the description says it applies only to anonymous access, internal and direct links.

        That's all the sharing link types. You have to wait for it to propagate. If your site is group connected it doesn't follow the same settings. If it's not, give it some time, the setting basically fires of some script at certain intervals to change that on your sites.
