Item Level sharing

Hi VinodSP,

as far as I know, there isn't a default feature that allows for approval before granting sharing requests.

By default, users can share items within an SPO site, and permissions are granted instantly based on the site's or item's settings.

However, if you need an approval process for sharing requests, there are some options available:

1. Information Rights Management (IRM): SharePoint Online has IRM, a feature that enables you to apply restrictions to shared content. While it doesn't provide an approval process, it gives you control over who can view, edit, or forward shared documents. You can explore this option for additional security and control.

2. Power Automate (formerly Flow): use Power Automate to create custom flows for sharing approval.

You can set up a flow that triggers when an item is shared, and then the flow can notify the owner, seeking their approval before granting access.
