Limited Access Mode in Office 365 Group SharePoint Site
Hello,
I'm wondering if Limited Access mode went away in Office 365 Group SharePoint sites. Basically, if someone shares a file/folder in a document library, shouldn't it grant limited access to the site's home page?
Thanks.

I dont know if i understood what you need..
But, maybe is the same like me..
I gave a shared link to someone, and now... he can see all my site... like a boss!!
Did you get how to lock this way?
I would like that he just could access the folder shared... could be the mother and mother of the mother.. but not all contents in my site...
Before, he can't see my lists... just records, edit and erase, from powerapps.. but now.. he can see all alllll!!!@danielpetrin Hi, I'm trying to use this guide https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Understanding-permission-levels-in-SharePoint-87ecbb0e-6550-491a-8826-c075e4859848, reported by Salvatore Biscari and it is ok, if I try to share only a folder/file in a one document library with not inherited permission using sharepoint sharing options, my specific account used appeared listed in Limited Access System Group, and if I will share the link created from Sharepoint option, only the specific account had access, instead all other account also account with have Administrator right permission, was blocked.
I've tried to copy, not using sharepoint sharing option, the specific url in address bar (using Google Chrome or New Edge or Firefox) while I stayed in the specific folder, and all users that stayed in Limited access System Group into collection had access in specific forlder/files, but I have done permission in sharing option only for one user. Could you help me to solve this issue?
Many thanks and regards. Eugenio Maria Caradorini
AFAIK, Limited access is still there.
"Limited Access enables a user or group to browse to a site page or library to access a specific content item when they do not have permissions to open or edit any other items in the site or library. This level is automatically assigned by SharePoint when you provide access to one specific item. You cannot assign Limited Access permissions directly to a user or group yourself. Instead, when you assign edit or open permissions to the single item, SharePoint automatically assigns Limited Access to other required locations, such as the site or library in which the single item is located."

- Buy also bear in mind that Security Model in Groups sites / Modern SPO Sites is a little bit different compared with what we have been doing for ages in classic SharePoint
Well, I believe that the "new" security model is different only on the surface.
I mean that several details are now hidden in order to prevent people to shoot in their feet, but behind the scenes everything is unchanged.
Just my opinion, of course...
